Topic: IMAP capabilities missing

[rickjones]

I found that Dovecot's IMAP capabilities are not being reported to clients, because of it being fronted by imapfront.

This can easily be resolved by adding an environment file, I've posted a fix on my contribs site (see sig).

I don't know how many IMAP clients are sensitive to knowing server capabilities, but Mulberry definitely is, e.g. it can use server-side sorting & threading, but only if the capability is reported!

I'd be interested to know if anyone finds this improves behaviour of any other IMAP clients.

Thank you, rickjones!

This did wonders for my SquirrelMail performance. I would suggest that this be moved into the main distribution in the future.  Really, the difference is dramatic (which makes sense, considering the mechanisms  involved).  Note for SM folks, you need to update your config file too, see SM docs.

I wish I had bothered to look into speeding webmail earlier. I suspect this would speed up other IMAP clients.
