POP support in Archiveopteryx

Archiveopteryx has supported POP3 since 1.01.

We support POP (and a few useful extensions) only for compatibility with existing POP clients. But POP isn't well-suited to managing large mail archives, so our focus is on IMAP instead.

Interoperability

Evolution is routinely used with Archiveopteryx. No known problems as of 2.0 in June 2007.
Fetchmail has been tested in June 2007 with Archiveopteryx 2.0, with no problems.
Mutt has been tested in June 2007 with Archiveopteryx 2.01, with no problems.

POP extensions

We support the following extensions:

STLS offers protection against network snooping. Archiveopteryx uses Cryptlib to implement TLS.
AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 and other SASL authentication mechanisms are supported, ranging from anonymous login to snoop-safe, replay-safe, challenge/request logins.
