This is incorrect.  From RFC 3501:

       In addition, client and server implementations MUST implement the
       STARTTLS, LOGINDISABLED, and AUTH=PLAIN (described in [IMAP-TLS])
       capabilities.

Godaddy is using a non-RFC compliant IMAP server, if it is not  
supporting the SASL PLAIN authentication method.

So we need to code to workaround a broken server like this.
