Description

Older mail clients (outlook 2007) seems to balk when connecting.

Fix is to encode Username: not Username and Password: not Password.

Other than that great little extension looking to add TLS support will issue pull request if we get it working.

Research direction

Start by locating SMTPChannel's login handling and inspect how Username and Password are encoded, using the older Outlook 2007 connection problem as the reproduction case. Done means the credentials use the encoding described in the issue and older clients can connect without breaking existing SMTP behavior.
