In contrast to SMTP, we don't support the SASL mechanism PLAIN in POP3.
Attached patch suggested patchSplinter Review
This patch adds support for SASL/PLAIN to our POP3 protocol. The code is basically the same like in nsSmtpProtocol, so very little risk. This is a -puw patch, -pu for checkin on request.

Comment on attachment 131137 [details] [diff] [review] suggested patch r=bienvenu - are we giving auth plain the right precedence when multiple mechanisms are supported by the server, i.e., preferring it to auth login?

Yep, PLAIN before LOGIN.
