I've heard that recent versions of Mozilla's IMAP client can handle CRAM-MD5
authenticatiog. Grepping through the source I find mention of CRAM-MD5 in the
IMAP-related code, but it appears to not be working. If I login to my IMAP
server with Mozilla, it still uses the LOGIN or PLAIN methods, even if I disable
all mechs except CRAM-MD5.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to IMAP server offering CRAM-MD5 authentication.
2. Client attempts LOGIN (or PLAIN) authentication instead of CRAM-MD5.
3.
Actual Results:
If I use PLAIN or LOGIN, I can login. Otherwise, authentication fails.
Expected Results:
Noticed that the IMAP server said this:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5 IDLE
and used CRAM-MD5.
I'd also _love_ to see DIGEST-MD5 implemented.

I don't believe CRAM-MD5 has ever been turned on, despite what you've heard. If
you looked a little more closely at the code, you'd see that the cram-md5 stuff
is #if 0'd out - I don't know why, since I didn't put in the #if 0 code.
Looks like it might work as well after uncommenting those lines, but we seem to
be missing "nsIHashAlgorithm.h"
It would be fantastic if we could get this functional.
