FWIW, I think it would suffice to make the server name an expanded
string. And if the IMAP login attempt is triggered by a new
expansion item or query-style lookup type (rather than a new
authenticator option), it would be possible to check multiple
servers.

When SMTP AUTH support was first added to Pegasus Mail, it only
supported CRAM-MD5. After one or two releases, LOGIN was added. It
was several more releases before PLAIN was added. So there may be
some installations out there that would be a problem, but all recent
releases have supported all three methods.
