Thanks Jan.

I
I've been told that we simply do not support CRAM-MD5 password, since
CRAM-MD5 needs clear text passwords in order to calculate authentication
tokens. The CRAM-MD5 method is not advertised anymore by our IMAP server.

However,  when we try to login now, we get the following error ;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: quote() in
/mnt/fileserver/data/home_camweb/webmail.cam.org/horde/lib/Prefs/sql.php on
line 162

Is this related ?

Thanks.
