dovecot - Nov 2017 - XDOVECOT capability?

Hi!

Here and there, I'm seeing mentions of a "XDOVECOT" capability -
e.g. on
https://documentation.open-xchange.com/7.8.2/middleware/components/search/crossfolder_fts_in_mail.html
.

However, I can't seem to find any documentation on what this actually does. 

We need to add this capability to our servers in order for certain functionality
of Open Xchange App Suite to work properly (as seen in the link above), but we
don't want to blindly update our entire Dovecot cluster just because their
docs tell us to :)

Can someone, please, shed some light on what other effects we can expect to see
after enabling this capability, if any? Or is it simply a way of telling clients
that "Hey, I'm a Dovecot server" - nothing else?

Cheers,

- Hogne

This last statement is correct. It is only used to assure the client that the
functionality is there. The various features are enabled by their respective
settings.
