Cleartext auth. in POP3 & IMAP

[Philip Plant]

Hi folks,

I'm using Eudora's qpopper POP3 daemon to receive mail at the moment,
but the client software I use doesn't support anything other than
cleartext password authentication.  I don't like the idea of sending my
login password unencrypted, and I was wondering if anyone could advise
how to setup qpopper (or any other POP3 or IMAP daemon) to authenticate
against a non-login password?

Thanks!

Philip.
