Agreed.
On the off chance this is actually what's approved,
"ENABLE" should be a
slider. '0' (default) is IMAP4, '1' should be IMAP4+UTF8,
'2' should be
the next feature we can't live without.
We should allow servers that require clients to support
UTF8, although I
would expect this rollout to take quite a lot of time.
I'm not endorsing this idea, but I do think there is an
obvious way to
mitigate the exponential number of feature toggles.
