Here's a thread about this on the IMAP protocol list:

http://mailman1.u.washington.edu/pipermail/imap-protocol/2006-August/000253.html

It's Mark Crispin's opinion that mutt needs to recheck after
login. It's Arnt Gulbrandsen's opinion (and mine) that the server is
broken:

I'd rather not add another round trip, but maybe I have to. The simple
solution for both mutt and mirapoint is for the IMAP proxy server to
send a gratuitous capability command after authentication completes.
