What I meant by "don't care" is that there are, presumably, many secure options. I "don't care" about which one. I just want something simple to configure.
Having a working understanding of SSL, I understand that sending unencrypted text over an SSL connection is reasonably secure. I do it everyday with SSH. I shouldn't need, nor does Thunderbird require, CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5. I was hoping to get some assistance from someone for whom dovecot is their "daywork". My "daywork" presumably includes things not in your "daywork". I can surely learn the system, and wouldn't need anyone's help, but that would detract from other things more important to me that I have a lot of expertise in. Presumably, I would return the favor when someone asks for my help in areas I have expertise in. We can either help each other with our respective expertise, or we can tell each other to learn it themselves.
