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)... > Fri May 15 17:20:06 +0000 2009: CRAM-MD5 authentication failed: > Net::IMAP::NoResponseError.

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. -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 GPG Key Id: 8E89F6D2; Key Server: pgp.mit.edu Contact me to arrange for a CAcert assurance meeting.
