Figured this out,
line 167 of pop3.c:
if (session.username != NULL && session.password != NULL)
On an APOP connection, password is NULL because a hash is substituted
instead of a password.
My temporary fix so far has been to set the password = to the hash. The
false condition on this if is the "uncompleted session error" and the
only time the pop server updates the read/deleted items is at the end of
a sucessful session.
When I decide on the best method to solve the problem, I'll submit a
patch. But this does work to solve the problem.
