They're always enabled, there's nothing you can do about them. Of course, you need some IMAP client (webmail) that actually uses these extensions.
OK, thanks.
The reason I asked is that in the Squirrelmail docs:
http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-6.html#ss6.3
it says:
[...]
To find out if the IMAP server supports server-side sorting and threading, telnet to it and ask:
$ telnet imapserver.example.com imap
- OK
1 capability
- CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS 1 OK CAPABILITY completed
The SORT and THREAD capabilities indicates that this server supports these extensions. Next step is to configure SquirrelMail to use them.
[...]
If telnet into Dovecot on my server, it doesn't explicitly indicate SORT and THREAD capabilities:
$ telnet localhost imap Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'.
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
Hence my confusion.
