This method tries to authenticate using the following methods, in this order of preference: CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, PLAIN, LOGIN, ClearText, EXTERNAL, GSSAPI, NTLM. The NTLM, GSSAPI and EXTERNAL methods are only attempted if no other method is available - please use Login(String, String, ImapAuthentication) and specify NTLM, GSSAPI or EXTERNAL directly if you wish to use them.
In builds for .NET 4.0 and higher, this method is available as an extension method. Add 'using Rebex.Legacy' (C#) or 'Import Rebex.Legacy' (VB.NET) to your code in order to use it.
