JFI I've just found what the problem with Murder+POP3 and IMAP 2.1.16
was.

<hostname>_mechs: (which is documented in 2.2-BETA), needed to be set
on the frontend. If it is not set, IMAP works (it used DIGEST-MD5 to talk to the
backend) but POP3 immediatly failed after the user authenticatet on the frontend.

The murder works fine now :-)

Is anybody using 2.2-BETA in a production environment or is it currently
better to use 2.1.16 (with skiplist)?
