Dear MailEnable team,

In first, I wish you a Happy New Year!

There is a big SECURITY problem, the missing support of SCRAM-SHA-*.

Can you add supports of:
- SCRAM-SHA-1
- SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS
- SCRAM-SHA-256
- SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS
- SCRAM-SHA-512
- SCRAM-SHA-512-PLUS
- SCRAM-SHA3-512
- SCRAM-SHA3-512-PLUS

"When using the SASL SCRAM mechanism, the SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS variant SHOULD be preferred over the SCRAM-SHA-256 variant, and SHA-256 variants [RFC7677] SHOULD be preferred over SHA-1 variants [RFC5802]".

- SCRAM-SHA-1(-PLUS):
-- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5802
-- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6120

- SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS):

-- https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8600 since 2019-06-21: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf-announce/suJMmeMhuAOmGn_PJYgX5Vm8lNA

- SCRAM-SHA-512(-PLUS):
