under mac os x 10.2.6
PHP 4.3.0
Apache/1.3.27
        register globals is on in "httpd.conf" for this domain only
        (from a long-past attempt at installing SQM)

sendmail 8.x
uw-imap (2002 rc10, also tested with current release) - on 993, plaintext login disabled


squirrelmail 1.4.1 has been configured for secure logins to imap on 993 using login, and is a fresh install. in the config script, autodiscovery of authentication methods to the imap server fails, but curiously, succeeds on SMTP.

at login, after a lengthy processing time, this message appears

--
ERROR:

ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server.
Query: LOGIN "username" "password"

uw-imap has been compiled to scan a mac os x specific folder, /system/library/mail/mailboxes, and operates successfully when connected to remotely from either Eudora 5.2.1 under os x 10.2.4 or Apple's Mail from the same machine.

Therefore, i have several questions.

* why does the error message present the password to the browser screen as typed?

* Can this be disabled?

* Is the login form passing the login information as plaintext, which is disabled?

Thanks in advance for your kind and thoughtful replies and assistance!
