Hi!

IMAP has an extension to reduce the bandwidth usage by compressing
data. It is explained in RFC 4978:

  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4978

Dovecot supports this extension:

  http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress

The capability is only advertised after login.

If COMPRESS=DEFLATE is present as a capability, the command "a COMPRESS
DEFLATE" will enable it. Once the server answers with OK any remaining
flow should be handled through zlib.

It would convenient to implement that in mbsync for people using
slow/expensive links to sync with IMAP.

Thanks!
