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.
