tsk tsk, Squirrelmail doesn't check CAPABILITY for THREAD support before
issuing this request. My guess is that the connection is not dropped at
all - it's just the following response that Squirrelmail doesn't expect:

* NO The command "THREAD" is not supported.

It's an extension, and Binc supports no extensions before 1.3.x
development starts. We will soon close the 1.1 branch and create the 1.2
stable branch. At that point, the 1.3 branch will also open and be where
all new development is done.

So extensions will be added to 1.3, but exactly how this will be done
isn't clear at this point. It may be loadable modules, may be seperate
packages or it may be integrated packages under an extensions/ folder. But
the actual code for THREAD and several other extensions has been done (by
Eivind Kvedalen) many months ago..

Great! Thanks,
