Hi,
 

I need to confirm something. Is IMAP client like Outlook and Netscape 
Messenger sending username/password pair as cleartext just like POP3 client? 


I have Courier-IMAP-v1.3.3. The main purpose is to allow users to get 
notification via aa small program call IMAP Notify from Vandyke Technologies 
(http://www.vandyke.com/) 


My main concern is whether the password is sent in cleartext, which is 
insecure. Same applies to sqwebmail when receiving the login. Any idea?
