Mmm, and I'd be inclined to think that POP was less secure than telnet,
because the password will (usually) live inside one packet, prepended with
the keyword 'PASS', and is incredibly to sniff off the wire. Or off un
WEP'd airports.
Except POP access is commonly local (ie, to your local provider, or
at worst to your ISP), whereas Telnet access is commonly remote.
APOP and ssh are the solutions to both of these, as well as https and
ssh tunneling for FTP.
Enjoy,
Peter.
