Have you considered offering POP3 via SSL only? Outlook Express, and pretty much everything else, support that just fine, and you can still use the "plaintext" authentication methods, but simply have them protected by your SSL session. Alternately, if your POP3 server supports it, you could offer CRAM-MD5 only via non-SSL, and all authentication methods via SSL, to cope with clients that support CRAM-MD5 but not SSL.
