If the user chooses a connection security option which assures the use of
encryption, then the PLAIN auth. option is labeled "Normal password",
otherwise it is labeled "Password, transmitted insecurely".
This is similar to Thunderbird's behavior.
The server settings for IMAP and POP3 have no such AUTOMATIC setting.
(Nor does Thunderbird have any such setting.)
The AUTOMATIC option is no longer offered to users as a choice. A
pre-existing setting will continue to be honored, but only to the extent
that it doesn't result in insecure password transmission. Users in such a
situation will get a "Failed to send some messages" notification
containing the exception text that says to update their outgoing server
authentication setting.
One of the problems with "AUTOMATIC" is that users may not fully
understand its security implications. For example, a MITM attack could
mask a server's support for STARTTLS and CRAM-MD5, resulting in password
disclosure in certain configurations.
This commit also makes changes to the SMTP authentication process. No
attempt is made to authenticate using methods that the server does not
profess to support in its EHLO response. This is the same behavior as
found in Thunderbird.
The LOGIN option is no longer offered to users as a choice. This does
*not* eliminate the SASL LOGIN authentication mechanism. Any pre-existing
LOGIN setting or any imported LOGIN setting will still be recognized. In
all cases, a user setting of either "Normal password" or "LOGIN" will
result in the SASL PLAIN mechanism being tried first if available,
otherwise SASL LOGIN will be tried if available.
This mirrors similar behavior that exists for IMAP.
AUTOMATIC = "Automatic"
PLAIN = "Normal password"
CRAM_MD5 = "Encrypted password"
SMTP also uses LOGIN. No localized text was associated with that because
a future commit will remove that option.
(The text is similar to that of Thunderbird's)
Changes:
Extract code and create login() and authCramMD5() methods.
Implement the SASL PLAIN authentication mechanism. Its primary benefit is
the explicit support for UTF-8. If the user has configured "PLAIN"
authentication, then SASL PLAIN will be used, if available, otherwise
login() will be used.
Implement POP3 APOP authentication (issue 3218). If the user has
configured "CRAM_MD5" authentication (a future commit will change this
user option to a localized string "Encrypted password"), then SASL
CRAM-MD5 will be used, if available, otherwise the availability of POP3
APOP will be checked and used (per RFC 2449, there is no APOP
"capability").
Extend getCapabilities() to check for available authentication methods by
sending the "AUTH" command with no arguments
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-myers-sasl-pop3-05). This never became
a standard, but there are servers that support it, and Thunderbird
includes this check.
The SASL PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 authentication methods are not attempted
unless the server professes to have the appropriate capability.
(Previously, CRAM-MD5 was tried regardless of capability.) No check is
made for the USER capability prior to use of that method. All this is the
same behavior as in Thunderbird.
Eliminate the testing for capabilities in cases where the test results are
never used (PIPELINING, USER).
Change when getCapabilities() is called. It is called once upon
connection. If STARTTLS is negotiated (POP3 STLS), then
getCapabilities() is called again after the connection is encrypted (and
the server is authenticated), but before user authentication is attempted.
In AccountSetupCheckSettings.onCreate(Bundle), the account settings are
checked.
If an AuthenticationFailedException occurs, A dialog saying "Username or
password incorrect." pops up. We don't want to say this if the cause is
not related to an incorrect user name or password. Instead we want to say
the more generic "Cannot connect to server" which pops up for other
exception types.
This commit attempts to eliminate the use of AuthenticationFailedException
in instances where it could not be due to "Username or password
incorrect."
Previously, the user name and password were being transmitted as IMAP (RFC
3501) quoted strings.
The problem is that quoted strings are only permitted to carry 7-bit
(ASCII) data, whereas user names and passwords entered in K-9 Mail may not
be ASCII, so K-9 was violating the RFC by sending them as quoted strings.
The solution is to transmit the credentials as IMAP literal strings, which
are permitted for user names and passwords, and which permit the
transmission of 8-bit data.
This is only a partial attempt for fixing the LOGIN command for users with
non-ASCII credentials. The problem is that IMAP permits 8-bit data for
user names and passwords (if transmitted as literals), but the RFC says
nothing about the character encoding for 8-bit data. This commit encodes
them as UTF-8.
The RFC author's comments on the subject:
http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/imap-protocol/2008-February/000822.html
Ideally, users should avoid the LOGIN command and use the SASL PLAIN
mechanism (within TLS) which explicitly permits UTF-8. (K-9 Mail always
chooses PLAIN over LOGIN, when PLAIN is available.)
CRAM-MD5 (RFC 2195) permits 8-bit data but does not identify its encoding.
Since ASCII does not permit 8-bit data, this commit changes the encoding
to UTF-8.
There is an expired Internet-Draft that proposed that the RFC be changed
to explicitly require UTF-8 encoding of user names and shared secrets.
(But then there's also an expired draft proposing that CRAM-MD5 be retired
to historic status.)
Instead of CRAM-MD5, a better option for users is the SASL PLAIN mechanism
(within TLS) which explicitly permits UTF-8.
See Issue 4492
This method made way too many assumptions about server responses and
should not have been attempting to read and parse them. That should be
left to ImapResponseParser.
Changes:
Implement the PLAIN SASL mechanism. IMAPv4rev1 assures its availability
so long as the connection is encrypted. The big advantage of PLAIN over
IMAP "LOGIN" is that PLAIN uses UTF-8 encoding for the user name and
password, whereas "LOGIN" is only safe for 7-bit US-ASCII -- the encoding
of 8-bit data is undefined.
(Note that RFC 6855 says that IMAP "LOGIN" does not support UTF-8, and
clients must use IMAP "AUTHENTICATE" to pass UTF-8 user names and
passwords.)
Honor the "LOGINDISABLED" CAPABILITY (RFC 2595) when the server declares
it. There's no sense transmitting a password in the clear when it is
known that it will be rejected.
No attempt is made to try CRAM-MD5 if the server doesn't profess to
support it in its CAPABILITY response. (This is the same behavior as
Thunderbird.)
Extract code from ImapConnection.open into new method
ImapConnection.login.
Extract code from ImapConnection.executeSimpleCommand into new method
ImapConnection.readStatusResponse.

All \r and \n codes have been replaced with <br />, so the patterns in
these replacements don't match anything.
This problem has existed for some time -- since commits 1ea27d7 and
e12dd32.
No attempt is made here to reimplement the replacements because users are
now used to the current behavior without much apparent complaint, and such
replacements are never perfect and can occasionally fail to work as
desired without additional tweaking for special cases.
There's currently a bug in linkifyText() that can lead to a
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when the text contains a
bitcoin URI and a "web" URI near the end of the text.
The loop extracted keys from `folderMap` and then called
`folderMap.get(...)` for every key. If both the key and the value needs
to be iterated on, `Map.entrySet()` is a more efficient solution as it
doesn't require O(n) Map lookups.
Since id is a Long, Long.valueOf(long) unboxed the Long to a primitive
long, then reboxed it into a Long instance, which was again unboxed to
allow it to be set as an element of the array of longs. This commit
reduces the number of boxings from 3 to 1.
