POP3 or APOP authentication

APOP is a POP3 setting that encrypts your username and password, it is an authentication mechanism designed to protect your POP3 account password when you are checking email.

APOP authentication does not require your account password to be sent as plain text to the POP3 mail server, however, not all Internet providers support it.
 

POP3 Post Office Protocol (POP3 RFC 1939) Version 3 is a standard internet protocol used for retrieving Internet email. It is used by your email client (Eudora, Netscape Communicator, MS Outlook, etc.) to communicate with a SMTP mail server.

  

Difference between "POP" and "IMAP"
