    PLAIN authN wasn't an option. Presumably you get this error because
    you haven't allowed plain text authN and aren't using TLS.

    This implies that you typed the password wrong, which is always
    possible :) I'd probably examine your SASL auxprop configs, tho,
    since imap complains that it can't find your auxprop plugin.

    :wes

    ps I think servername: ought to be something in DNS, i.e., "D-Y-C
    Mail Server" is a poor choice.
