Seems like it might be worth trying out a newer version. This is mainly 
academic, as was mentioned earlier users can still issue the traditional 
user/pass commands to long - and any pop3 client should support this 
method. The problems I'm seeing are likely with a few bad clients 
(thunderbird) that get the mechlist once and never forget it (until 
restarted) - even after making server settings changes.

Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if the new version resolves the 
problem once I get a chance to try it out.
