Hi,
one Fedora user complains about not some troubles after update to dovecot 1.2.
He suspects wrong capability information given by dovecot 1.2
In dovecot.conf he uses imap_capability= option. While response to 'A
CAPABILITY' respects imap_capability value, the capability info in hello
message does not.
for imap_capability=IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL NAMESPACE CHILDREN SORT QUOTA
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UNSELECT IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN
A CAPABILITY response is:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL NAMESPACE CHILDREN SORT QUOTA
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UNSELECT IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN
but hello message is:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS
AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
But it seems even when imap_capability is not used capability in hello message
is not complete:
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS
AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
vs.
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT
THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE
UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES
WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN
is this expected? Do you think capability information in hello message really
can befool clients?
