On the same server, Netscape Messenger 4.78 talks to the server and no username/password is visible in the packets it sends. Just plain IMAP with no special security. Using TB, regardless of what I configure (MD5,...) TB sends the username/password in the clear for every transaction with the server! I must be missing something? -- Best regards, Randy -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
