get mail based on user certificate, not username & password
Hi all!
I want to configure POP3 server to use user certificate for authentication instead of username and password.
Does it possible?

Isn't this sort of like the "password keyring" that Thunderbird has? It just saves your password, encrypts it in its own database, and allows easy retrieval of your mail without having to type anything.

Yeap, u just change authentication algorithms/steps, but it won't work with POP3, it shall be a charm with IMAP though. POP3 is kind'a old....
