APOP authentication

[patrick]

Does Outlook 2000 and above support APOP authentication,
and if so how do you set it up?

No.

Why not? It isn't as if an Outlook user with a laptop has any control over the authentication protocols that our clients choose.

I imagine it's because the demand for APOP authentication is so low that
Microsoft didn't find it worthwhile to include it.

My Eudora-based clients who lean anti-MS would feel vindicated.

Still, it's easy to demand features when you don't have to do the work. ;-)

Thanks for your help.
