maybe related to the CRAM-MD5 checkins...

Reporter, please try again with a nightly build >= 20030509. There was a minor
bug left in the official 1.4b that caused failures in some cases.

If this doesn't help, would you please create a POP3 log file using these
instructions:

As I currently don't have access to a win2k machine this is the faster way to try.

1. I'm try nightly build (ID:2003051108) --> failed.
2. I'm use instructions to create POP log and retry POP authentication process
but always failed and POP log file have not any content.

But a log file has been created though it's empty, yes?

In the meantime I got access to an W2K computer and installed Merak 5.8.6. But
it's only W2K Professional and no Domain Controller available. So it looks to me
the "NT password" checkbox in the Special tab doesn't take effect.

If I assign a password in the User tab manually, accessing POP and SMTP with
Mozilla works without problems. Does this also work in you setup?

---> yes. the log file has been created but it's empty.

---> I'm Merak mail server installed in W2K SERVER, so "NT password" checkbox
can useable.

Mozilla works without problems. Does this also work in you setup?
---> Yes! you got point.
     I'm use Mozilla 1.4a and before, Merak's "NT password" always set to
enabled and work fine, but Mozilla 1.4b has problems for POP3 authentication
with "NT password", so now I just manual to set mail account password.

If you installed Merak on W2K SERVER and enabled "NT password", then can use
"Server Monitor" and choice "Active Sessions".
You can monitor POP3 authentication session then maybe can more understand
problems .

Before I use "NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5" to log POP3 session, but log file is
empty.
Now I reuse "NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:5" to log POP3 session, the result is in
attachment.

I have download Mozilla nightly build 2003051512. It's work fine!
I do'nt know what's changed since nightly build 2003051108, but it's work fine.
This bug have not be found.

We've only done a workaround that disables the new CRAM-MD5 authentication
mechanism by default. You can it switch on again by setting a boolean pref
useSecAuth for the POP server you want. And in 1.5 this will get an UI and maybe
enabled by default again.

As I wrote, that's a workaround for faulty servers, no fix for an bug in Mozilla!
