Ok, I think I have that figured out.
I made the following mods:
disable_plaintext_auth = no
pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
and it seems to work.
Now...about those enhanced logging capabilities. As promised, I see the
enhanced logging.
What does TOP and RETR mean? (I checked the manual first)

Hmm, so what appears in the logs when you fail to authenticate? Have you

telnet server 110
+OK University of Reading POP3 Server
USER chris
+OK
PASS chrispassword
+OK Logged in
LIST 1
+OK 1 1234
QUIT
+OK Logging out.
