pretty sure AFAIK the sense of providing the capabilities in the greeting is that clients who do understand this doe snot need to request them exlicitly from the server >> the "pre-auth banner" should display exactly the same as really >> supported - we had a pitfall with dovecot-2.0 as proxy in front of >> dbmail where dovecot ignored the capability setting in >> "dovecot.conf" and spittet out his own in the greeting screen > >> resulted in iPhones were no longer able to check mails because they >> are reading the banner and after that working with the capabilities >> from it > > iPhone has a broken IMAP client? That is news! the whole apple clients are horrible broken in different ways like trying to send a mail unautenticated over 6 months without notify the user that he has to enable auth or killing the imap-server with a 2 GB attachemnt trying to store in "drafts", using NTLM as default for incoming/outgoing if the server supports this (and many other methods) and not notify the user if after changes the server no longer likes NTLM > Please try it and let me know how things go.
