    I set up SMTP to accept SPA. I read that when SMTP is set to use SPA, the
    POP3 Server is automatically setup to use it, also.

    But, when I use Encrypted Password File authentication, the SPA option for
    POP3 disappears. Since the above mentioned docs did not address this, I take
    it at its word, that POP3 is accepting SPA. BUT IT DOESN'T! Why not?

    Outlook Express sends the message to the SMTP server using SPA, using the
    credentials I set up for the Encrypted File account mailbox, but POP3 only
    responds to non-SPA use of those credentials. Unless Outlook is secretly
    using my local credentials...

    But, philosophically, why would the SPA checkbox option be disable in POP3
    when using Encrypted File? When setting up a bulk email server, don't ALL
    users deserve the highest level of security available?

    Thanks!
