Hi,

My employer had the wisdom to switch to the Zimbra mail server.  It
only supports PLAIN authentication for IMAP4REV1.  When I try to
connect with sylpheed, I get the following log:


* creating IMAP4 connection to imap.myemployer.com:993 ...
* SSL certificate of imap.myemployer.com previously accepted
[16:00:10] IMAP4< * OK server ready. Unauthorized Access Prohibited.
[16:00:10] IMAP4> 1 CAPABILITY

[16:00:11] IMAP4< 1 OK CAPABILITY completed

[16:00:15] IMAP4> 3 LOGOUT
[16:00:16] IMAP4< * BYE My employer IMAP server terminating connection
[16:00:16] IMAP4< 3 OK LOGOUT completed

Unfortunately, thunderbird does handle this correctly.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Cheers
