Uh, OK.

My answer is "Don't use Outlook.  For anything.  Period."
but the OP may be stuck with it for some reason.

Outlook supports SSL and TLS for both IMAP and SMTP if makes a
difference, plus AUTH but I'm not sure if it sets up a tunnel before
sending the plain-text password. Googling seems to indicate otherwise,
but perhaps someone better versed in Outlook can say for sure?
