LOGIN authentication is meaningless to security.

Setting elmo-imap4-default-stream-type to ssl means you use IMAP over
SSL.  As I wote in the previous post, ALL communications with server
are encrypted including password (regardless authentication
mechamnism).  I think you don't need any further customization.

I guess server simply dose not support LOGIN authentication.  You can
confirm log by setting elmo-imap4-debug to t, but I think that you
don't need to do it.
