When one of my clients tries to use his pop3 account he gets an error about higher authentication being required... what should I do?

Thanks

Justin, not sure what the exact error is, but it doesn't ring any bells so far...

Hi Justin

Maybe your or your customer set up APOP, which requires stronger authentication and therefore an email client which is capable of doing this (e.g. eudora). If you want to use normal pop, you'll have to turn off apop for this account.

hope that helped
