If you are using https, then Basic auth should be sufficient
correct?

Thanks. I was surprised that DIGEST-MD5 worked with plain http, but
I don't really understand the inner workings of authentication and
how it differs for http and httpd.

But yes, basic + https will work, since this is a new CalDAV
install. I was previously using the same imapd.conf file with both
imapd/pop3d and httpd, but I've now created a custom conf file for
httpd.

Changing to plain + STARTTLS for all imap/pop3 clients would be more
difficult, given how many clients (Outlook!) are already using
DIGEST-MD5 there, but I should probably get started on that.
