Even gmail itself isn't advertising all capabilities before login: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 XYZZY SASL-IR AUTH=XOAUTH AUTH=XOAUTH2
vs. * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 UIDPLUS COMPRESS=DEFLATE UIDPLUS especially has been very widely used long before gmail. I guess they also don't want to advertise unnecessary capabilities before login and have determined that all the important clients supporting UIDPLUS support receiving after it post-login.
