     A protection mechanism provides integrity and privacy protection
     to the connection.  If a protection mechanism is negotiated, it is
     applied to all subsequent data sent over the connection.  The
     protection mechanism takes effect immediately following the CRLF
     that concludes the authentication exchange for the client, and the
     CRLF of the tagged OK response for the server.  Once the
     protection mechanism is in effect, the stream of command and
     response octets is processed into buffers of ciphertext.  Each
     buffer is transferred over the connection as a stream of octets
     prepended with a four octet field in network byte order that
     represents the length of the following data.  The maximum
     ciphertext buffer length is defined by the protection mechanism.

     Authentication mechanisms are OPTIONAL.  Protection mechanisms are
     also OPTIONAL; an authentication mechanism MAY be implemented
     without any protection mechanism.  If an AUTHENTICATE command
     fails with a NO response, the client MAY try another

     authentication mechanism by issuing another AUTHENTICATE command,
     or MAY attempt to authenticate by using the LOGIN command.  In
     other words, the client MAY request authentication types in
     decreasing order of preference, with the LOGIN command as a last
     resort.

  Example:    S: * OK KerberosV4 IMAP4rev1 Server
              C: A001 AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_V4
              S: + AmFYig==
              C: BAcAQU5EUkVXLkNNVS5FRFUAOCAsho84kLN3/IJmrMG+25a4DT
                 +nZImJjnTNHJUtxAA+o0KPKfHEcAFs9a3CL5Oebe/ydHJUwYFd
                 WwuQ1MWiy6IesKvjL5rL9WjXUb9MwT9bpObYLGOKi1Qh
              S: + or//EoAADZI=
              C: DiAF5A4gA+oOIALuBkAAmw==
              S: A001 OK Kerberos V4 authentication successful

     clarity and are not in real authenticators.
