Re: imap/2837: MYRIGHTS not understood by Mirapoint IMAP4PROXY

Still, other MUAs probably gracefully accept that broken behavior,
maybe mutt should as well?
Probably should... particularly given that it seems to be viewed as
"okay" (even in the various IMAP RFC's) for the CAPABILITY response to
change after authentication (and STARTTLS). I still don't think it's
acceptable to *REMOVE* capabilities when you authenticate, or to claim
capabilities that you don't actually have regardless of the state of
the machine. But, if you only trust the most recent CAPABILITY
response, my argument is kind of a moot point, and mirapoint could
technically claim all kinds of nonsense in their initial CAPABILITY
response if they wanted to. :)
Does make you wonder if they actually do support all the things they
claim in the latter CAPABILITY response, though, or if just most
clients don't actually use all of them.
