I think I know what the difference between PLAIN and plain is (the first

why is it the only mechanism that doesn't log "User logged in"?


plaintext is the built-in authentication command: LOGIN for IMAP,
USER/PASS for POP3 and NNTP.


Hmm, OK, so what's plain then?

I have to assume that its the same as PLAIN.
