Actually I would be interested in the response to the AUTH command. Is there 
really no response?
Do you get anything like
-ERR command not supported
or
+OK Following are Supported SASL mechanisms ?

Also what is the response to the USER command?

KMail checks for APOP and SASL support automatically before it transfers the 
password in plain text over the net, therefore the AUTH command.

If you wouldn't use an RPM you could also test appended patch. Some servers 
seem to no longer respond to any commands if one command fails. Maybe that is 
also the problem here.

Michael Häckel
