Older / newer -
'Simpler' might be the operative term.
AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN are the only ones we have bothered to
implement for more than ten years.
Mind - originally with SSL (only) on port 465, nowadays with
tls_on_connect over port 587.
Also SSL/TLS for the POP or IMAP ports, https for webmail.
Never 'en claire' for any of those.
As the channel is encrypted before UID:PWD are exchanged, we havent seen
the need for bothering to encrypt those any further.
