On Friday, October 26th, Apple released Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which  
no longer provides native support for Kerberos 4.  Though IS&T retired  
support for Kerberos 4 on June 30, 2007, some users continue to use  
Kerberos 4 dependent applications or configurations.

In particular, Apple Mail users that use kPOP to access their incoming  
mail will need to change their configuration to IMAP if they upgrade  
to Leopard or purchase new machines pre-configured with 10.5.

For instructions on how to configure Apple Mail 3.0 within Leopard,  
please review the Apple Mail set up page (a working document):
