[imp] CRAM-MD5 problem with Horde2/IMP3 and PHP4.1.1 ..

[Marc G. Fournier]

I just went through the archives at Google, and, for the life of me, am
still seriously confused here ... you suggest downgrading c-client, but,
for my every-day email, I use Pine, which also uses c-client, and I've
never had a problem with this ... and until upgrading to IMP3, we never
had a problem with this either ...

i've found one post on Google:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=cram-md5+group:mailing.www.horde-imp+group:mailing.www.horde-imp&hl=en&selm=9uho59%241utq%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw&rnum=8

That seems to suggest that eliminating CRAM-MD5 support is "a good thing"
since it fixes the problem, but at the expensive of reduced security for
everything else ...

>From what I can tell: Pine+c-client 2001a works fine ... PHP4.1.1+c-client
is broken ... is there a way of disabling CRAM-MD5 support in PHP4 without
screwing around with my security for other mail clients?
