Yes and No.

Yes, Baton Mail is attempting CRAM-MD5 despite the fact that the EHLO 
banner doesn't list it as an available type. This is a known problem, and 
was really just a not yet implimented feature (that is, to read the 
banner and only try supported types).

However, the log also shows that it successfully recovered from the 
CRAM-MD5 refusal and then stepped down the list and tried the LOGIN 
method. Your failure is occuring during the LOGIN attempt, and my guess 
would be, your username or password is typed incorrectly.

However if you are sure your username and password are correct (run a log 
inside Baton Mail to see the plain text version of your password that 
Baton Mail is using), then it is possible that the server side is not 
properly recovering from the bad CRAM-MD5 attempt, and is thus rejecting 
the connecting entirely.

Because this is a potential problem to some users, I have a build of 
Baton Mail that will not attempt CRAM-MD5 at all. If you need it, or want 
to give it a try, let me know I'll send it to you.
