Right; namely, the sense in which the poster asked. He asked for a way
to modify the server ONLY, and end up using POP3 without any passwords
traveling en claire. I replied that THAT is impossible. Other things,
of course, may or may not be impossible.
However, if ``most clients'' actually support SSL, then I may have
simply been wrong. (I'm not gonna quibble that POP3+SSL isn't POP3,
because although it isn't, who cares?)
The original poster needs to know the definition of ``most clients'',
and probably will have to run two POP3 servers--a secure one for savvy
clients, and an insecure one for stupid clients. Unless ``most clients''
is an inclusive enough class.
