Mail::Box::Manager

A request for documentation:

http://perl.overmeer.net/mailbox/html/jump.cgi?Mail::Box::Manager&2774

under the method 'open' could you add an item for

authenticate => NAME
	Authentication method of IMAP servers.  Default is 'AUTO',
	options are PLAIN and CRAM-MD5.  AUTO will attempt CRAM-MD5
	first.  Unsupported Authentications will timeout.


Also, Mail::IMAPClient, which Mail::Box::IMAP4 is based upon, does not 
support a method (at least in the cpan docs) for finding the types of 
authentication mechanisms available for the IMAP server.  Because of 
this, AUTO will attempt CRAM-MD5 then PLAIN authentication.  Unsupported 
Authentication models will appear to hang while the server times out. 
This can be circumvented by specifying "authenticate => NAME" as a part 
of the Mail::Box::Manager or Mail::Box::IMAP4 Constructors.

Alternatively, I'm going to send what might be a patch for this.
