Otherwise, if you *still* want to use the packaged version, you can create a cram-md5 database, but I'll save the explanation on that unless someone wants to know.
Ok I'm game. I want to know :)
Well, first, your email client must be able to do CRAM-MD5 passwords. I imagine yours does, but you'll probably have to specify the change. By default, the imap-2002 server is looking for a file /etc/cram-md5.pwd. All you need to do is put your usernames and passwords in this file like so:
<username><tab><password>
This is all in /usr/share/doc/packages/imap/md5.txt, but it might be a little overwhelming if you've never dealt with this before. Like that file says, the downside is that now you need to replicate your passwords in this file for everyone you want to give POP or IMAP access to.

I tried making this password file and squirrelmail told me that that cram-md5 was now available for use so I changed squirrellmail to use cram-md5 and tried to log in, and got this error. "Bad request: IMAP server does not appear to support the authentication method selected. Please contact your system administrator. Any other ideas? Rob
