I've installed Axigen Mail Server and enabled SMTP and POP3 servers.

After that, I've created domain (slava.local) and an user (slava).

So now I can connect to the SMTP server (using telnet, open 127.0.0.1 25), and successfully send messages. Every message I send, arrives to the destination inbox of slava user. See the below screenshot.

It is not the case when working with POP3 Server. I cannot pass the authentication, despite the fact that the slava user is created (and a password is set up as well).

UPDATE

Here is the error

+OK AXIGEN POP3 server on SLAVA-PC ready <12532.2077614192@SLAVA-PC>
USER slava
-ERR Unsupported authentication type

Any help/hint will be appreciated!

I found the root of the problem and hence a solution as well.

In the Axigen WebAdmin, in the POP3 server configuration page, at Encryption and Authentication section, I had to allow the following option: On UNSECURED connections allow authentication with: normal login ans AUTH PLAIN in order to enable authentication via Telnet, because Telnet in turn provides an unsecured connection.

Hopefully it will help someone.
