I'd just like to confirm that Thunderbird 1.5 is broken. we refuse
logins until after STARTTLS, but Thunderbird considers that the
capability "LOGINDISABLED" means "login is disabled", not "the protocol
command LOGIN is disabled", so it will pop up a message about the server
not currently accepting logins and refuse to work.
if we remove LOGINDISABLED from the capability response, it will happily
try to authenticate _before_ STARTTLS, thereby sending the password in
the clear... it's amazing they could break IMAP this badly.
