Some new information. First, I tried forcing the authentication from 
GNUMail and it works, thus it is not a problem in Pantomime, which is 
good news.

Looking at the code though, it looks as if the check for the supported 
authentication types is not completely implemented? Or am I not 
understanding it? I am looking in AccountEditorWindowController and 
check for the sendSupportedMechanismsPopUp.

Perhaps the code is not written completely in the beta release? I'm open 
for suggestions. At worse, we can temporarily disable the check feature 
and hard-code all items again and make the application functional again.
