APOP is neither as cryptographically secure, nor as widely supported by
clients as CRAM-MD5 and CRAM-SHA1, which courier does support. The
administrative requirements of CRAM-* and APOP are the same: you need a
plain text copy of the user's password on the server.

Use the CRAM-* authentication methods.
