Sometimes reading the right RFC (1939) helps... what I've been trying
to do (allow a user to use either POP or APOP) is not really a good idea:

>From RFC 1939:
>    It is conjectured that use of the APOP command provides origin
>    identification and replay protection for a POP3 session.
>    Accordingly, a POP3 server which implements both the PASS and APOP
>    commands should not allow both methods of access for a given user;
>    that is, for a given mailbox name, either the USER/PASS command
>    sequence or the APOP command is allowed, but not both.
