According to last draft for IMAP server is allowed to return the folloing:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 <other capabilities>]<hostname> Cyrus
IMAP4 <version> server ready

I.e., server banner MAY include CAPABILITY response code. Client that
recognize untagged response in a banner will not issue CAPABILITY.
