My email server does not support encryption. That's bad. However, it does support RFC-1734 (APOP). This would least allow challenge/response authentication rather than a plain text password. Not as good as encrypted sessions, but better than nothing. I don't see any indication that Thunderbird supports this. Does anybody know for sure?

APOP was implemented in Bug 43923 in 2003

If I understand the bug correctly the password option Encrypted password is apop.
