This is not CRAM-MD5, is it?

This is what I get connecting to your server:
Connected to stos.se.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 NAMESPACE ID AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN UIDPLUS STARTTLS ACL METADATA] Debian-60-squeeze-64-minimal IMAP4rev1 Citadel 7.83 ready

This is what I get connecting to mine:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready.

I see no AUTH=CRAM-MD5 in capabilites of your server.
