SASL is now in CVS for IMAP4, SMTP, POP3. It seems that a draft existed for NNTP but since it is expired, I did not spent time on it.
It has been tested for PLAIN, CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 authentication (thanks to laposte.net).

SASL implemented

SASL
1. libetpan
I am working on SASL for libetpan. Cyrus-SASL will be used.
That will bring some numbers of authentication mechanism for IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP : ANONYMOUS, CRAM-MD5, PLAIN, GSSAPI (MIT Kerberos 5 or Heimdal Kerberos 5), DIGEST-MD5, LOGIN, SRP, NTLM, OTP, KERBEROS_V4.
Implementation will be started with IMAP4.
some addition of API (mainly authentication API) will be needed since SASL authentication
needs the server full qualified name, a login, an authentication name, a password, and a realm name (kerberos meaning).

workaround old Courier IMAP bug
1. Courier IMAP nightmare is back once again.
A workaround has to be applied in sylpheed to workaround a bug in old Courier IMAP servers.
if we quote atom such as “Reply-To”, the server won’t understand the command.
It looks like (in opposition to what I said earlier) we could fix that by not quoting words with ‘-’ char. (1)
The workaround that has been applied is fetching all headers instead of performing a fetching a selection of headers.
Maybe I’ll workaround this also in libetpan by using (1).
