I have tested, and it works nicely on my system, Debian GNU/Linux
sid i386 (very recent), Emacs 22.0.50 (CVS 2005-02-10) and Emacs 21.3
(Debian package emacs21 21.3+1-9), Mew 4.2, with the following
configuration

;;; .mew.el
(setq mew-config-alist
      '(
	("default"
	 ("name" . "Test User")
	 ("user" . "test")
	 ("mail-domain" . "artslink.de")
	 ("smtp-mail-from" . nil)
	 ("smtp-server" . "post.strato.de")
	 ("pop-ssl" . nil)
	 ("pop-server" . "post.strato.de")
	 ("pop-user" . "test at example.com")
	 ("pop-auth" . apop) ;; pass also works, but not recommended
	 ("mailbox-type" . pop)
	 )
	 ;;
	))
(setq mew-debug 'net)
;;; .mew.el ends here

I got the following in *Mew debug* buffer:

-----
<GREETING>
+OK POP3 server ready <11853476.500.1108152342 at example.com>
