This is normal and just a part of a standard IMAP connection auth
sequence.  Unless you've got kerberos enabled/SASL auth stuff in
place, the standard IMAP auth options are all pretty nasty (pop3 is no
better)...

You still connected via an ssl secured connection, so even using
horrible auth mechanisms like this, you're reasonably protected during
transit.

Looks good from here.
