No, reference the table I linked to.  Outlook Express (at least in
versions 4 and 5) only supports LOGIN and PLAIN, not CRAM-MD5.  LOGIN, is
simply plain text, Base-64 encoded.

You've have to move to something like Eudora, and if it's a 4.0 version,
check the settings thusly:

If you require the use of Outlook Express, or Outlook, and requre
"secure" logins (Microsoft's version of secure), you need to replace SIMS
with something like an Exchange Server that supports microsofts
proprietary Secure Password Authentication (SPA), which you'll note that
you can turn on in both products.

As for what that is, you can glean info here:
