Yes, I found that in the meantime.  _After_ I have logged in with
user/pass, the server responds to CAPA fine:

    % telnet mail.t-intra.de pop3
    Trying 62.156.147.75...
    Connected to mail.t-intra.de.
    Escape character is '^]'.

I'm curious what is the proper protocol proceedings here, since we
have access problems using other clients (netscape, eudora) too.  The
ISP (german telekom) is currently busy answering zillions of service
requests after they introduced the new pop server :-/
