I notice that the openssl docs require compression to be specifically enabled and are somewhat scathing about support...

Anyone care to comment further?
When i created this thread, some weeks ago, i have also made some tests with recent versions (OpenSSL, dovecot, Thunderbird) and couldnt get compression.
I didnt any kind of tracing debug or similar, i just created some IP accounting rules and watchs it when downloading a know set of emails with a know size. There was no difference when downloading through unsecure IMAP or secured (TLS) IMAP. So, there's no compression being activated.
When searching for that, i found that there's already a RFC for a COMPRESS imap extension ... as imagined, there are pretty few clients that supports it .... Thunderbird 3 Beta supports it .... but asking customers to use a Beta software is not acceptable. So, we'll probably need some more years to have this extensions widely deployed and supported by clients.
