I will receive eMail from a POP3-Server that support encrypted transfer of passwords with the SASL-Methods "SCRAM-SHA-1" and "SCRAM-SHA-256" (successful tested with the command line tool 'mpop') but Thunderbird say that the Server does not support encrypted transfer of Passwords. I think in real Thunderbird does not support the strong Methods offered by the POP3-Server. What is the most secure method for Password transfer on POP3 that is supported by Thunderbird? Greetings Erik

Where do you not see SASL-Support by Thunderbird? I want to know: what is the most secure password transfer method for POP3 supported by Thunderbird? May be i can talk with the admin of the POP3-Server to support a weaker password transfer method special for users of Thunderbird.

The Methods SCRAM-* are part of SASL, see Point 8 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Authentication_and_Security_L...
