IMAP TLS on 143 with Plain Auth

[julianmd]

Hello,

I have a case where I need to connect to a server running on port 143, with TLS and Plain U/P authentication
I've modded the code to use TLS on 143, but not sure how to go about the Plain auth

public function setAuthentication($username, $password, $tryFasterAuth=true)
{
$this->username = $username;
$this->password = $password;
if ($tryFasterAuth) {
$this->setParam('DISABLE_AUTHENTICATOR', array('GSSAPI','NTLM'));
}
}

Any suggestions please?
Any way I can log verbatim errors to see what's going on?

Thanks
