[Techtalk] evolution and ipop3d

[Meredydd Luff]

That's officially Ximian's fault - I was looking up the RFC the other day, 
and a POP server only *needs* to support the message retrieval and deletion 
commands, and though it's not unreasonable to require it to support USER and 
PASS authentication methods, your server is behaving completely within spec 
there, and Evolution is behaving very antisocially. BAD client!

Beats me how to get it to behave, though... :-(
