Well...I've vaugely read about APOP...however if the user is running *nix, the data can be encrypted using stunnel. Alternatives are also ssh-tunnelling etc.
At present on my systems, encryption is done the following ways
For reading mail:
I am running imaps, which works great for clients such as netscape and outlook. Unfortunetly clients such as Eudora, do not do imaps..
For sending mail:
I am using STARTTLS, which works wish again clients such as Outlook/Netscape Mail
For General mail encryption:
Gnupgp/PGP/SMIME
