Mail List authentication failures (php/phplist)

Problem:

I'm trying to configure an application (phpList) and it requires that I enter (in config.php) a username and password for a POP3 account to handle bounces. I keep getting a POP3 error and it can't log in. What gives?

Solution:

Be sure to put the full email address as the user name, not just the part on the left of the @ sign.

     Good Example: bob@domain.com
     Bad Example: bob
