Subject: Re: Net::IMAP - Support for 'plain' authentication?

Oh, wow, it works.  That's amazing.

Does anyone have any thoughts on whether or not this method is better
than using imap-backend?  They both work, but I'm afraid of the
overhead and uncertainty of a codebase that's at 0.1 and has no
homepage or documentation.

Thanks!

Sean
