dovecot - Jun 2008 - SSL + compression?

OK, my interested is piqued now - does anyone have a recipe for how to 
make openssl compress the traffic before encrypting it? (Or perhaps it 
does by default?)

I don't think it does be default. The only what I know is to establish a 
compressed SSH tunnel to your server and then access the server over the 
tunnel. It will compress and give you an extra layer of encryption.

Incidentally, and you may complain about it being off-topic again,
there's also an IMAP compression extension:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4978

No idea if anybody implements it yet though.
