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.
