IMAP authentication

["Frank W. Samuelson" <frank merrill-samuelson com>]

I have been having problems getting balsa to open my 
IMAP mailbox.  I ran balsa -D and got

Status: Connected (1330918373)
IMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 ID] mail12c40 IMAP4rev1 Bigfoot
IMAP C: 1 AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5
IMAP S: + PDYzIuMTMzMDkcisdjkwdiojcskjNDAuY2FycmllcnpvbmUuY29tPg==
IMAP C: ZnJhbmtAbWVycmlsbdjcises82hnYFHC1zYW11ZWxzb24uY9tDIZTNcyOThjNDVhMmUyMzdhNGM3ZWY5
IMAP S: 1 NO AUTHENTICATE failed
IMAP S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 ID] mail6c40 IMAP4rev1 Bigfoot


I noticed the "AUTHENTICATE CRAM-MD5", and think that this 
may be the problem because to get alpine to work with my 
email account I have to use 
disable-these-authenticators=CRAM-MD5

Is there a way to make balsa not use CRAM-MD5, only GSSAPI? 
Without recompiling, that is. Thanks for any help.
