They're always enabled, there's nothing you can do about them. Of

OK, thanks.
The reason I asked is that in the Squirrelmail docs:
http://www.squirrelmail.org/docs/admin/admin-6.html#ss6.3
it says:
[...]
To find out if the IMAP server supports server-side sorting and
threading, telnet to it and ask:
$ telnet imapserver.example.com imap
* OK
1 capability
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT
THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS
1 OK CAPABILITY completed
The SORT and THREAD capabilities indicates that this server supports
these extensions. Next step is to configure SquirrelMail to use them.
[...]
If telnet into Dovecot on my server, it doesn't explicitly indicate SORT
and THREAD capabilities:
$ telnet localhost imap
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE
STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready.
Hence my confusion.
