+  #
+  # === Basic IMAP4rev1 capabilities
+  #
+  # IMAP4rev1 servers must advertise +IMAP4rev1+ in their capabilities list.
+  # IMAP4rev1 servers must _implement_ the +STARTTLS+, <tt>AUTH=PLAIN</tt>,
+  # and +LOGINDISABLED+ capabilities.  See #starttls, #login, and #authenticate
+  # for the implications of these capabilities.
+  #
+  # === Caching +CAPABILITY+ responses
+  #
+  # Net::IMAP automatically stores and discards capability data according to the
+  # the requirements and recommendations in
+  # {IMAP4rev2 §6.1.1}[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9051#section-6.1.1],
+  # {§6.2}[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9051#section-6.2], and
+  # {§7.1}[https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9051#section-7.1].
+  # Use #capable?, #auth_capable?, or #capabilities to use this cache and avoid
+  # sending the #capability command unnecessarily.
+  #
+  # The server may advertise its initial capabilities using the +CAPABILITY+
+  # ResponseCode in a +PREAUTH+ or +OK+ #greeting.  When TLS has started
+  # (#starttls) and after authentication (#login or #authenticate), the server's
+  # capabilities may change and cached capabilities are discarded.  The server
+  # may send updated capabilities with an +OK+ TaggedResponse to #login or
+  # #authenticate, and these will be cached by Net::IMAP.  But the
+  # TaggedResponse to #starttls MUST be ignored--it is sent before TLS starts
+  # and is unprotected.
+  #
+  # When storing capability values to variables, be careful that they are
+  # discarded or reset appropriately, especially following #starttls.
+  #
+  # === Using IMAP4rev1 extensions
+  #
+  # See the {IANA IMAP4 capabilities
+  # registry}[http://www.iana.org/assignments/imap4-capabilities] for a list of
+  # all standard capabilities, and their reference RFCs.
+  #
+  # IMAP4rev1 servers must not activate behavior that is incompatible with the
+  # base specification until an explicit client action invokes a capability,
+  # e.g. sending a command or command argument specific to that capability.
+  # Servers may send data with backward compatible behavior, such as response
+  # codes or mailbox attributes, at any time without client action.
+  #
+  # Invoking capabilities which are unknown to Net::IMAP may cause unexpected
+  # behavior and errors.  For example, ResponseParseError is raised when
+  # unknown response syntax is received.  Invoking commands or command
+  # parameters that are unsupported by the server may raise NoResponseError,
+  # BadResponseError, or cause other unexpected behavior.
+  #
+  # Some capabilities must be explicitly activated using the #enable command.
+  # See #enable for details.
+  #
   # == Thread Safety
   #
   # Net::IMAP supports concurrent threads. For example,
   #
   #   imap = Net::IMAP.new("imap.foo.net", "imap2")
-  #   imap.authenticate("cram-md5", "bar", "password")

-  #   could be very numerous, very large, and very rapid.

-  # as they are being read.  <em>This is especially important for untrusted
-  # servers.</em>

-  # Use the +response_handlers+ argument to ::new to assign response handlers

+    # or +IMAP4REV2+ [RFC9051[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc9051]].
+    #
+    # Additionally, the server capabilities must include a capability matching
+    # each enabled extension (usually the same name as the enabled extension).
+    # The following capabilities may be enabled:
+    #
+    # [+:utf8+ --- an alias for <tt>"UTF8=ACCEPT"</tt>]
+    #
+    #   In a future release, <tt>enable(:utf8)</tt> will enable either
+    #   <tt>"UTF8=ACCEPT"</tt> or <tt>"IMAP4rev2"</tt>, depending on server
+    #   capabilities.

+    #   The server's capabilities must include <tt>UTF8=ACCEPT</tt> _or_
+    #   <tt>UTF8=ONLY</tt>.
+    #
+    #   This allows the server to send strings encoded as UTF-8 which might
+    #   otherwise need to use a 7-bit encoding, such as {modified
+    #   UTF-7}[::decode_utf7] for mailbox names, or RFC2047 encoded-words for
+    #   message headers.
+    #
+    #   *Note:* <em>A future update may set string encodings slightly
+    #   differently</em>, e.g: "US-ASCII" when UTF-8 is not enabled, and "UTF-8"
+    #   when it is.  Currently, the encoding of strings sent as "quoted" or
+    #   "text" will _always_ be "UTF-8", even when only ASCII characters are
+    #   used (e.g. "Subject: Agenda") And currently, string "literals" sent
+    #   by the server will always have an "ASCII-8BIT" (binary)
+    #   encoding, even if they generally contain UTF-8 data, if they are
+    #   text at all.

-    # open_timeout:: Seconds to wait until a connection is opened

-    # response_handlers:: A list of response handlers to be added before the

-    # Errno::ENETUNREACH:: There is no route to that network.
-    # SocketError:: Hostname not known or other socket error.
