Hi Gerrit, Your idea is good and simple. I think that you could better the security side: you send the login/pass in clear text and this is one of the worst aspect of the legacy POP3 protocol still very used, at least in Brasil. You could use SSL, for example. I don't know SSL in details, but i know that it creates a encrypted service layer to encrypt the data and can too do the authenticate part. You could use a assymetric key too. I know that doing thinks like that, the simple solution could get complicated, but IMHO, keep security in mind is important.
