Make sure "Use Secure Authentication" is checked in the "Security
Settings" tab for IMAP and POP (the "Never" radio button for secure
connection works just fine). Nothing special needs to be done for SMTP
(if Kerberos tokens exist, SMTP will take advantage of the credentials if
possible).
For Windows, a special pref needs to be set to get MIT's Kerberos
For Windows (and it's GSSAPI library) used instead of Microsoft's
sspi.
This line:
user_pref("network.auth.use-sspi", false);
Needs to be put into a user's "prefs.js" in their user profile dir,
or use options | advanced | config to change the pref.
