If I understand the issue correctly, this is the case. The server<br>
incorrectly advertises CRAM-MD5, but it never succeeds since the server<br>
lacks the relevant secret.<br>

Obviously this is bad, but apparently many GUI clients handle such<br>
broken servers, by falling back to PLAIN auth. I can't say I've ever<br>
seen it in the wild though.<br></blockquote><div><br>Could you file a ticket for implementing this functionality?</div></div>
