Exactly how does an IMAP server advertise pipelining other than it says
it's an IMAP server? :)
There is no such capability, extension etc. It's in RFC3501, which
defines IMAP v4r1.
Dovecot has a proxy_nopipelining setting for its IMAP proxy, I just want
to use that (ie: no pipelining) with imapc too. Whether it's dynamically
configurable, even with the existing proxy_nopipelining, or with an
imapc_features flag, it doesn't matter for me.
Of course, setting this per user would be nicer.
