Hi again,

You mentioned in your original post that you are using v7.23.1 and that is
now a year old - Since then I have extended both the SMTP and POP3 protocols
fixing numerous bugs along the way and as such I do this myself for both
protocols ;-)

If you do have success, libcurl will:

* Send the EHLO
* Send the AUTH <mechanism>
* Send the authentication details

You can then re-use the connection to carry out additional performs, if you
wish, such as sending an email ;-)

When you come to cleanup libcurl it will disconnect gracefully by sending a
QUIT command to the server.

Kind Regards

Steve
