Hmm, strange results.
My dovecot compiled on freebsd using openssl doesn't do compression.
But my dovecot compiled on redhat using openssl does do it.
redhat openssl 0.9.8b
freebsd openssl 0.9.7e (really old)

If your OpenSSL supports it, Dovecot supports it. I recently tested
this with gnutls-cli program, openssl s_client for some reason
didn't support it. I've no idea if any actual IMAP clients support
it.
I notice that the openssl docs require compression to be specifically
enabled and are somewhat scathing about support...

Anyone care to comment further?
