Kerberos is supposed to be a bear to set up.  IMAP and APOP are easier
solutions that protect the password (does IMAP encrypt everything?  I don't
think so).  RH used to ship with an imapd package, which you probably
installed to get the POP deamon.

qpopper is perhaps the best solution for APOP.  I had a lot of trouble
several months ago and gave up but I noticed the below message today.  Good
luck.

Subject: qpopper3.0b23 RPM spec file available

I've uploaded an RPM spec file and a source package for qpopper 3.0b23
to

http://www.sewingwitch.com/ken/qpopper2.99.23.spec
http://www.sewingwitch.com/ken/qpopper-2.99.23-1.src.rpm

Changes:

- Fixed --with_popuid typo (found by Elgin Lee).
- Remove .in from manual pages.
- Added new --enable-shy option to hide version number.

If you've already downloaded the tarball from Qualcomm, you just need
the spec file.

If you use this, please let me know of any successes or failures.
