Mailutils pop3d does not support SASL. Imap4d does support it, provided
that libsasl has been properly installed and configure was able
to detect it.

To verify this, run `imap4d --show`. If its output contains string
WITH_GSASL, then mailutils is configured with gsasl support. If it
does not, then `configure' was unable to detect the presence of libsasl
library and/or its headers. Try configuring mailutils with
--with-gsasl flag. If it still does not detect libgsasl, examine
config.log, or send it to me (use my private address to reduce list
traffic and to avoid disclosing security-sensitive information it may
contain).
