Sorry to ask this question, but I've got to deploy this system, and it's working. I do need to know if it needs further attention after deployment ;-)

imapd-ssl is the only courier imap server running on the 'nix box.
24956 ??  I       0:00.01 /usr/local/libexec/couriertcpd -address=0 \
     -stderrlogger=/usr/local/libexec/courierlogger ...
31621 ??  I       0:00.01 /usr/local/libexec/courierlogger imapd-ssl
25700 ??  I       0:00.00 /usr/local/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.plain \
     start (authdaemond.plai)

The mail clients are mozilla and thunderbird running under windows. The test instances connect just fine to port 993, when the "use secure connection (SSL)" option is checked. There is also an option on the clients to "Use secure authentication", which is unchecked. When I check this option and attempt to access the server I get the warning "You cannot log in to ------ because you have enabled secure authentication and this server does not support it."

Can someone please explain (or direct me to a reference, with pointers to specific passages, if possible)
1 - whether or not, with my current configuration, the password is passed over the network in cleartext?
2 - how the unchecked option relates to configuration(s) on the imapd-ssl server?


TIA for any tips
