you refuse to use Microsoft due to their security holes, and yet you want
mozilla to use Microsoft's security mechanism - I think I'm seeing a
problem there... ;)  (but I guess what you want is something secure which
works with Microsoft's servers, which may or may not be possible...)

there are requests filed for
secure password authentication on NNTP (POP3 is also mentioned)
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119694

and on HTTP:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23679

I guess you could file RFEs for POP3, IMAP and SMTP as well, but I'm not
sure it'd make much difference - from discussions I've seen around other
products, it's not trivial to implement NTLM authetication...
