With a valid user:

+OK Cubic Circle's v1.31 1998/05/13 POP3 ready <064a0000a4a35f39@febrile>
user roger
+OK roger selected
pass 12345
-ERR cucipop: Invalid password or username (check case)

With an invalid user:

+OK Cubic Circle's v1.31 1998/05/13 POP3 ready <054a0000a4a35f39@febrile>
user zarquon
+OK zarquon selected
