Unfortunately I've yet to find a mail client that issues a CAPABILITY request after authenticating. Instead all do so upon initial connection to the IMAP server (and, correctly, again after subsequently initiating a STARTTLS session but before authentication).
Dovecot might want to send an OK response with CAPABILITY Response code then (like "* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 QUOTA FOO BAR] Capability list"). Smart clients should notice that.
Or just advertise it from the beginning :)
Not re-querying the CAPABILITY after authentication is correct according to the IMAP spec in RFC2060, which says:
It's 3501 now, btw.
