Well, I've edebugged nnimap-login and double checked with wireshark and
thunderbird and indeed it seems that CRAM-MD5 auth is completely broken
in that weird server. However years ago it used to work.
For the record Gnus did produce the same result that Thunderbird, which
also couldn't login.
I've disabled (with a hack) CRAM-MD5 for that particular server, sorry
for the noise.
Regards,
Emilio
