Using OE5 on W98/2K and choosing 'Log on using Secure Password
Authentication' under mailserver properties->Servers, I get the error:
PAM authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported
by your IMAP server are supported on this computer.
If I click the Details button, I see 'Secure(SSL): 1' and 'Code:
800cccdf'.
Does this mean that OE5 only supports SSL1? Which doesn't make sense to
me, since everything else, including the SSL connection works as
expected.
AFAIK, OE shares (some of) its setup with IE, in which SSL2 and3 are
selected.
I browsed M$'s site for references to secure password auth, but found
nothing really enlightening.
"Secure Password Authentication" is meaningless gobbledygook. You need to
find out exactly WTF it means. Perhaps this is the marketese for CRAM-MD5
authentication, in which case you need to set up CRAM-MD5 according to the
instructions in INSTALL. But if as you indicate they're going with SSL, it
doesn't really make sense to use CRAM-MD5 on top of SSL, so who knows what
MS is trying to do here...
