Re: [Dovecot] [Help] How get the complete CAPABILITY list?

Hi Michael, My question is, how to know the exact CAPABILITY after a user logged in, he'd have been able to know the CAPABILITY he really has. Simply, what should be followed as the CAPABILITY after a user logged in?

Quoting tao.6.yang@nokia.com:

A Login user1 A CAPABILITY

I expect to get the list that contains the following - AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5

But actually I did not get the above content, I only get a short list as below,

CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL -IR SORT THREAD=REFERENCES MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT LITERAL+ IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE LOGIN-REFERRALS A OK Capability completed

Why did I miss the AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=DIGEST-MD5??

Once you login, the list of available authentication methods is
irrelevant. The RFC allows the CAPABILITY string to be different in
unauthenticated vs. authenticated state.
