Kerberos
Mozilla 1.7 has support for GSSAPI authentication for HTTP, and thus supports kerberos. It would be good to have GSSAPI auth for IMAP (and LDAP) in TB. Is the support there? What needs to be developed and tested? I'll try to gather relevant bugs and references to source code here.
- IMAP/GSSAPI in thunderbird 1.5?
- IMAP/GSSAPI implemented?
- Request for HTTP/GSSAPI auth (implemented in 1.7)
- Request for LDAP/GSSAPI auth
- Request for SOCKS5/GSSAPI
IMAP
TB supports IMAP authentication, though I'm not sure which hashing schemes it supports of MD5, crypt, etc.
SMTP
I guess this is similar to IMAP auth.
POP3
I don't use this old protocol.
SASL?
Can SASL be used on the client side in any useful way? (And, incidentally, Which IMAP, LDAP, SMTP servers, etc, support it?)
NTLM and SPNEGO?
These are not listed as available authentication methods in the UI. Are they ever used automatically?
General
- Try the last successful authentication method first.

GSSAPI implementations
- MIT
- Sun
- Heimdal
- GNU
