Ah,=20 > one more thing: I disabled plain-text authentication on the MTA-Server. I'm trying to use CRAM-MD5 with imaps for receiving the mail from my courier-imap server. The evolution's version is the latest one from the por= ts running on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p4. The mail server: mail# uname -rs FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p2 mail# pkg_info | grep courier courier-authlib-0.52 Authentication library used by courier ports courier-imap-4.0.1,1 IMAP (and POP3) server that provides access to Maildir= mail mail# grep authmodulelist /usr/local/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc | grep -v '^#' authmodulelist=3D"authuserdb" mail# As far as I understand, it's not possible to remove support for plain passw= ord authentication without also removing CRAM-MD5 support, because CRAM-MD5 sup= port is included in the authuserdb module. I haven't looked too deep into that, = so I'm not sure if that's 100% correct. But, that's not even the root of the problem because all the other mail user agents on different platforms work = just fine with my server. Volker, if it's not too problematic for you, could you mail me some exerpts from your ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml file containing the specification of the authentication method? If that file indeed contains the authentication settings for evolution, I could specify them manually and th= at should solve my problem.
