Did a little reading.
"Always use secure password" translated out of microsoft lingo means - use secure password authentication (SPA) which is a buzzword for SSPI authentication framework. SSPI includes a bunch of different mechanisms - kerberos, NTLM, etc All of which should work, but apparently only NTLM works properly with entourage, outlook, etc.
So, does the spamcop imap server support NTLM, or SPA at all?
My understaning is that without SPA you are vulnerable to man in the middle attacks?
