Yes it does.

If for some reason it keeps falling back to PLAIN, it may be that the server is 
presenting the authentication mechanisms in the "wrong" order. You can override 
the order in which authentication mechanisms are attempted by the client by 
setting the mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms session property (e.g. 
"mail.smtp.auth.mechanisms=CRAM-MD5,PLAIN,LOGIN"), see the SMTP provider 
package JavaDoc for more information.
