Stefano Bagnara resolved JAMES-376:
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

I'm not sure to understand the bug report: James pop3 server does not support the AUTH extension you are referring.
If this report is a request for a new feature then if should be created as a new feature and not a bug. AUTH is not a mandatory extension for POP3 so this should not be considered a bug.
If, instead, you think the problem is in some bad response from james pop3 server, then provide more informations!

> it appears that new Outlook allows for 8 bit instead of the ascii, so if a password containing a "ü" or other Umlaut is used, there may be problems.
> org.apache.james.pop3server.POP3Handler.handleConnection(Socket connection) 
> determines the encoding.
> It doesn't appear that base64 or alike as in http://james.apache.org/rfclist/pop3/rfc1734.txt is used.
