Similar to the POP protocol except that APOP enables password to be encrypted when being transmitted over the network. Using POP mail, when you authenticate your username and password in your email client, the password is transmitted in plain text. With APOP, the password is encrypted while being transmitted. APOP prevents hackers from seeing the password information using sniffer programs.
