That is intentional.  pop3 will not "cache" passwords because it is a
security hole.  You can "cache" it in pop3-password or nnmail-pop-password.
However, if you have more than one POP mailbox this will fail because both
Gnus and pop3 can only "remember" one password.

UoW's POP3 server is broken; at a guess it strips trailing newlines from
messages when it removes the envelope sender.  There is a working
workaround for this in Gnus 5.4.41 (the current one apparantly does not
work).
