perdition and IMAP COMPRESS (RfC 4978)

Hi!

I am in the planning stage for an upgrade of my employers mail system.

In the backend I will be using dovecot which supports IMAP COMPRESS
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4978.txt>,
<http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Compress>.

In the frontend I would like to continue using perdition.

From the RfC I assume, perdition should cope with IMAP COMPRESS, since
everything after a successful authentication is just passed through.

From the RfC:

,----
|    The following example illustrates how commands and responses are
|    compressed during a simple login sequence:
|
|         S: * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 STARTTLS COMPRESS=DEFLATE]
|         C: a starttls
|         S: a OK TLS active
|
|             From this point on, everything is encrypted.
|
|         C: b login arnt tnra
|         S: b OK Logged in as arnt
|         C: c compress deflate
|         S: d OK DEFLATE active
|
|             From this point on, everything is compressed before being
|             encrypted.
`----

Is my assumption correct that it is safe to use perdition in such a
setup? Or am I threading on thin ice here, bound for disaster?

Grüße,
Sven.
