For IMAP, where connection setup time is, in principle, a very small part of
the total session time, it seems odd you're advocating that nobody should
worry about adding round-trips when there's been substantial effort in
reducing round-trips in precisely this area. Witness the way that the
CAPABILITY command has been deprecated into a CAPABILITY response code, or the
SASL-IR proposal, or RECONNECT - the list just goes on.

A good way of saving a couple of RTTs is to use imaps rather than
imap+STARTTLS. It's a pity that the equivalent for message submission
has been rescinded, despite the fact that it's still widely used.
