What authentication options that don't involve sending passwords does
MailMate support? Is there a way to configure MM to use only one of

server that only supports CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5.
MailMate only supports `CRAM-MD5`. It can be forced to only use this by
editing `Sources.plist` (and `Submission.plist`) to include this for
each account:
authMechanism = 'CRAM-MD5';
(`XOAUTH` is also supported for Gmail/Outlook.)
The only real reason for the lack of support of other mechanisms is that
I implemented it myself instead of using a library which probably
supports more methods (I haven't checked recently).
Also, most of the servers I have access to only support very few
authentication methods. They don't even support `CRAM-MD5`.
