Just saying -- you could pipeline LOGIN/AUTHENTICATE, SELECT and FETCH already. The only downside is that you have wrong data in your socket's read queue iff the UIDVALIDITY has changed. And yes, the overhead of the initial capability checking, TLS negotiation and connection establishment is still there, of course.
