You get this kind of (no, not weird, but 'normal' for APOP) response when you have APOP enabled in the IMail POP3 service settings. Since few clients support this, you probably don't need it enabled. Since you believe it never worked this way before, I'd say you can safely uncheck that box. Of course, if a customer calls and has POP3 problems and is using APOP....you may need to turn it back on. And stop/start POP3 service after any change is applied!
