Most people where I work use MS Outlook to connect to the Cyrus imap server. If I recall correctly the only way I could get Outlook to successfully connect was using plain text passwords . Yeah, I agree, not an ideal solution!

However, I can't use secure password authentication from outlook. I get the following error: Your 'Inbox' folder was not polled for its unread count. CRAM-MD5 authentication failed. None of the authentication methods supported by your IMAP server (if any) are supported on this computer. Account: 'biology.wits.ac.za', Server: 'biology.wits.ac.za', Protocol: IMAP, Server Response: '', Port: 143, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCCDF I get the same error if I include the realm in the username or not. My logs say: Mar 20 12:33:16 biology master[7517]: about to exec /usr/cyrus/bin/imapd Mar 20 12:33:16 biology service-imap[7517]: executed Mar 20 12:33:16 biology imapd[7517]: accepted connection Mar 20 12:33:16 biology master[7025]: process 7517 exited, status 0 Does anybody know what the problem is, and how to fix it?
