Outlook Express does allow the configuration of SMTP logon by SASL

I suspect, in this context, you mean SSL not SASL.
No - I don't use SSL.
Unless you are using a shared secret authentication method for SASL,
then you should be. Plain/Login methods send passwords in the clear. In
this day and age they should only be used with SSL (actually TLS).
Absolutely right - but in the real world there are some mail clients that do not support
TLS/SSL - so it's SASL in plain for now. I'll upgrade as soon as the rest of the world
can deal with it ;-)
Slainte,
