You're not being foolish, the IMAP clients are the fools. If they're told not to use plaintext authentication, yet they still try it, well, they have nobody but themselves to blame.



Thanks, Sam. I agree. But I'd still like to know why this succeeds when it shouldn't. Shouldn't the server just reject plaintext LOGIN attempts ?

Define "shouldn't". The configuration file setting simply sets the IMAP capability string. That's it.
