POP3 (incoming mail) has always need authorization.  
A recent change is to encrypt that authorization.

pmail does POP3 authentication.  It does not encrypt.

The sylpheed I am currently using (1.0.5) on BL2 does 
encrypted authentication for both POP3 and SMTP.  I 
don't recall whether the BL3 sylpheed (0.8.11) does 
encryption.
