POP3 Advanced Target Type

The POP3 with login check makes a connection socket to your POP3 server (by default on port 110), waits for positive reply "+OK" message as defined in RFC 1939 and then logs in with username and password to your POP3 server.
If there is an error during the whole process (including bad welcome message, connection timeout or incorrect authorization information), the check is marked as BAD.
