Like I said in the PMail lists, my guess is wrong message ID.  If you are
using a Mercury/32 POP3 account then you can turn on session logging to
see exactly what is going on between the webmail and POP3 account.

That said though, if you are using Mercury/32 you can use the IMAP4
server to work this account and you'll not have this problem.

I'm confused, AUTH is a MercuryS ESMTP command not a POP3 APOP command.=20
David Harris has implemented ESMTP AUTH CRAM-MD5 for WinPMail, Mercury
and Mercury/32.  They do a SMTP authentication in accordance with RFCs
2554 and 2195.
