Hi,

> Is there any security loop holes that may exist if this is implemented?

If you dont use APOP your POP Passwords can be sniffed. Even if you use APOP
all the mails polled via POP can be sniffed. If your POP password will be
sniffed and is equal to some sort of login password you may get problems,
too.

Greetings
Bernd
