I have only heard of this, a guy who implemented MS ADS, Cyrus IMAP and 
OE. He claims it works without a glitch. I believe that the mysterious 
option is "Use Secure Password Authhentication". In machines that are 
not a part of ADS, but are a part of NT4 domain, it activates NTLM. And 
if you recall SPNEGO implementation in MS products will try GSS-PAI (or 
SSPI-API?) and if it fails, NTLM. So, I guess that is the right track to 
follow.

Nix.
