Details

It would be nice to have add the ability for the user to define a authentication mechanism. Currently m_prefAuthMethod (class nsSmtpProtocol) and pref mail.smtpserver.default.auth_method can only become PREF_AUTH_ANY and PREF_AUTH_NONE, so all or nothing. If we'd have PREF_AUTH_PLAIN, PREF_AUTH_LOGIN, PREF_AUTH_CRAM_MD5 a.s.o. and the code to interpret it, the user could choose (in a pref var first and then in UI).
