I haven't found out what dovecot lists as capabilities, but here's what it says in the log on the connect after I disabled PLAIN auth (anonymized IP numbers): Jan 1 14:31:39 myhost dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (tried to use unsupported auth mechanism): method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.226.192, lip=192.168.185.190, TLS: Disconnected So it kind of looks like Gnus never tries anything other than PLAIN...? I use ~/.authinfo to get usernames and passwords.
