Subject: [Imap-protocol] Apple's iCloud server non-compliant!
Message-ID: <alpine.OSX.2.00.1110221212460.29979@hsinghsing.panda.com>

There is yet another broken IMAP server inflicted upon the world.  The
iCloud/.me IMAP server (a.k.a. iSCREAM, st11p00mmm-iscream--5.me.com)
advertises AUTH=PLAIN but doesn't accept it:
 	2 authenticate plain
 	2 BAD parse error

Apparently, Apple thinks think that by advertising SASL-IR, a client is
compelled to implement it.
