Hi,
I had some problems connecting TB 2.x with dovecot 2.0. TB2 complained about not being an IMAP4 server. TB 3 worked. It seems that dovecot 2.0 doesn't return capabilities when queried. Maybe some wrong config, thoug?
I think you can set imap_capability setting manually, but yeah, it's broken currently. I'm not exactly sure how it should be implemented now. Should doveconf do it? Should Dovecot master process do it? Should there be a completely new binary for it? Hmm..
TB3 seems to be fine without extra capability stuff.
Does it still ask for the CAPABILITY command? One solution could actually be that Dovecot just stops giving the full CAPABILITY before logging in. I did some tests for this recently, and it looked like as long as the capability is forcibly pushed to the client after login, most clients will use it. v1.2+ already does this when proxying to an IMAP server with different capabilities than what were advertised for the client previously. I haven't tried it with Outlook though, that could be the one client that ignores it..
