No, we can't mix it. See the documentation. ;-)

> How can I do this ?

To do this, you must set the "pop" function of the ticket attached to
the authority informations... Here is a quick guideline :

- get the folder of the mailbox with mailbox_get_folder()
- get the authority info of this folder with folder_get_authority()
- get the ticket attached to this authority info with
  authority_get_ticket()
- set your new pop function with ticket_set_pop()
- optionnaly use ticket_set_data() to attach your password to the pop
  function.

The pop function must look like :

int my_pop (ticket_t the_ticket, url_t url,
            const char *challenge, char **pwd)

Just put the passwor in *pwd.

Good day.

                Olivier
