Hi,
I am trying to optimize an imap library and I am comparing with some existing webmail, for instance from roundcube I can log the imap commands with the following format :
[11-Jan-2012 14:22:55 +0100]: [DBD1] S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=DIGEST-MD5 AUTH=CRAM-MD5] Dovecot ready.

And now I would like to do the same from my imap library so I have started wireshark but it's a bit messy and difficult to compare. I was wondering if dovecot allows to log imap communications ?
Thanks
