In your application, do:
mail_parameters (NIL,DISABLE_AUTHENTICATOR,(void *) "CRAM-MD5");
You might want to have that as a feature in your application. Alpine has
a "disable these authenticators" for precisely this reason.

Is there a flag that can be passed to C-client as part of the imap connection

connect to a Cyrus server that advertises CRAM-MD5 but where the user(s) in

that stronger authentication mechanism by default and failing. Manual tests
indicate that using a plain "a0 login username password" will work.... but I
am unsure how to tell c-client to do that.
Any suggestions?
This is just to help these users get their email OFF this Cyrus server.
Best.
