[Dovecot] Dovecot not responding to CAPABILITY command

[Ryan Hinton]

Thank you for the patch, my mail server is up and running again.  Now I 
am back to my previous problem: I am not able to log in with 
Thunderbird.  Thunderbird issues the capability command which is not 
answered by Dovecot.  Here is a session transcript using openssl s_client.

* OK Dovecot ready.
1 capability
* OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
2 CAPABILITY
* OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
quit
* OK Waiting for authentication process to respond..
QUIT
DONE

The first time I tried it worked fine.

* OK Dovecot ready.
1 capability
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT 
LITERAL+ IDLE
  CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS AUTH=PLAIN
1 OK Capability completed.
QUIT
DONE

But every other time I tried it failed like the first example.  Any 
suggestions?
