[Bug classpath/22735] inetilb: APOP authentication broken [PATCH]

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I had to apply a patch (attached) to gnu.inet.pop3.POP3Connection to get APOP
authentication to work. The default setup tries to use APOP, fails, and throws
an undetailed AuthenticationFailedException :|

Should the POP3Connection fall back to using USER to log in if no APOP
timestamp was available?

I've applied this patch.

The application using the POP3Connection should fall back to using login() if
apop() fails and the user accepts transmission of cleartext passwords.
