Hello dovecot community,

grateful ;)
Thanks & greetings

We actually discovered that Android has a bug with DIGEST-MD5, which
Google refuses to fix. Also DIGEST-MD5/CRAM-MD5 etc are not really
good idea with SSL anyways.

Hello Aki,
thanks for your reply ... so if there's a bug which Google won't fix
it's perhaps best to not offer digest-md5?
what do you mean by it's not a good idea to use DIGEST-MD5/CRAM-MD5 with
SSL?
Those methods encrypt the password itself which was a good thing back in
the days when most connections were unencrypted. The disadvantage is
that they require the password to be saved in cleartext.
If you can enforce an encrypted connection it is better to use
PLAIN/LOGIN and save the passwords as hashes (preferably with salts).
