Auth fails partly for imap

Hi all,

What have I done wrong when I can log into my IMAP account 
(cyrus-imapd-2.0.17) via Mozilla and web mail (Squirrelmail) but Pine 
doesn't allow me to log in? I use PAM with MySQL authentication. This is 
what I get to my log file (first when I log into with Mozilla from a 
remote client, then Pine locally):

-- 8< --
Jul 27 18:04:27 silakka imapd[5665]: login: my.computer.foo[x.x.x.x] 
kypeli plaintext

Jul 27 18:05:09 silakka imapd[5685]: badlogin: 
localhost.computer.foo[127.0.0.1] CRAM-MD5 authentication failure [no 
secret in database]
-- 8< --

Why does Pine try to use CRAM-MD5 but Mozilla doesn't? I have 
{localhost:143}inbox in Pine in inbox-path.

Running FreeBSD 4.8.


Regards,

Johan Paul
