Thunderbird's IMAP COMPRESS and Cyrus-IMAP 2.4.11

[Bron Gondwana]

(CC: info-cyrus - hopefully people can read the problem in my response 
at least!)

The easiest fix will be:

suppress_capabilities: COMPRESS=DEFLATE

in your imapd.conf.

I think you can change it in Thunderbird as well, in the advanced config:

mail.server.default.use_compress_deflate

I'd be interested in more detail about it not working.  Given that I 
wrote both ends (pretty much - Ken did the initial implementation at the 
Cyrus end, but I did work on it too) and I use it with Thunderbird all 
the time, I do care about it working!

Regards,

Bron.
