So, if I set SIMS to 'Advertise AUTH' and set Eudora to "Allow Authentication", how can I be sure Eudora will use CRAM-MD5 and not LOGIN or PLAIN?
The client is supposed to try the strongest version of authentication that it and the server support. So Eudora SHOULD try CRAM-MD5 if it sees that the server supports it.
I can confirm that at least Eudora 6.0b18 does this:
