Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra) Internet Drafts


      
 Sieve Email Filtering: Extension for Processing Calendar Attachments

 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
This document describes the "processcalendar" extension to the Sieve email filtering language. The "processcalendar" extension gives Sieve the ability to process machine-readable calendar data that is encapsulated in an email message using Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME).
 IMAP MESSAGELIMIT Extension
 
 draft-ietf-extra-imap-messagelimit-08.txt
 Date: 01/02/2024
 Authors: Alexey Melnikov, ArunPrakash Achuthan, Vikram Nagulakonda, Luis Alves
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
The MESSAGELIMIT extension of the Internet Message Access Protocol (RFC 3501/RFC 9051) allows servers to announce a limit on the number of messages that can be processed in a single FETCH/SEARCH/STORE/COPY/MOVE/APPEND/EXPUNGE command. This helps servers to control resource usage when performing various IMAP operations. This helps clients to know the message limit enforced by corresponding IMAP server and avoid issuing commands that would exceed such limit.
 The JMAPACCESS Extension for IMAP
 
 draft-ietf-extra-jmapaccess-08.txt
 Date: 01/03/2024
 Authors: Arnt Gulbrandsen, Bron Gondwana
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
This document defines an IMAP extension to let clients know that the messages in this IMAP server are also available via JMAP, and how. It is intended for clients that want to migrate gradually to JMAP or use JMAP extensions within an IMAP client.
 IMAP Extension for only using and returning UIDs
 
 draft-ietf-extra-imap-uidonly-07.txt
 Date: 18/03/2024
 Authors: Alexey Melnikov, ArunPrakash Achuthan, Vikram Nagulakonda, Ashutosh Singh, Luis Alves
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
The UIDONLY extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (RFC 3501/RFC 9051) allows clients to enable a mode in which information about mailbox changes is returned using only Unique Identifiers (UIDs). Message numbers are not returned in responses, and can't be used in requests once this extension is enabled. This helps both clients and servers to reduce resource usage required to maintain a map between message numbers and UIDs. This document defines an experimental IMAP extension.
 IMAP4 Response Code for Command Progress Notifications.
 
 draft-ietf-extra-imap-inprogress-05.txt
 Date: 14/02/2024
 Authors: Marco Bettini
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
This document defines a new IMAP untagged response code, "INPROGRESS", that provides structured numeric progress status indication for long-running commands.
 IMAP4 Extension for Returning Mailbox METADATA in Extended LIST
 
 draft-ietf-extra-imap-list-metadata-04.txt
 Date: 19/03/2024
 Authors: Kenneth Murchison, Bron Gondwana
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
This document defines an extension to the to IMAP LIST command that allows the client to request mailbox annotations (metadata), along with other information typically returned by the LIST command.
 Snoozing Email with IMAP,JMAP,and Sieve
 
 draft-ietf-extra-email-snooze-00.txt
 Date: 30/10/2023
 Authors: Kenneth Murchison, Ricardo Signes, Neil Jenkins
 Working Group: Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend (extra)
This document describes the "snooze" extensions to IMAP, JMAP for Mail, and the Sieve Email Filtering Language. The "snooze" extensions give these protocols the ability to postpone the appearance of an email message in a target mailbox until a later point in time.

Charter for Working Group

The IETF maintains several key email related protocols that relate to
message delivery to mailstores and mailstore access. These include
the following:

IMAP (RFC3501)
SIEVE (RFC5228)
ManageSieve (RFC5804)

From time to time, there are bursts of work to do and the motivation and
critical mass to do it. When such bursts coincide, it's important to
give them a home. This working group provides such a venue.

The WG will work on updates, extensions, and revisions to the above
email protocols. Upon formation, the working group will consider any
existing Internet Drafts that could be appropriate for its processing.
While an interest poll for a new related idea is fine, the WG should
avoid detailed discussion of work items lacking an Internet-Draft.

The working group will start with processing the backlog of IMAP/Sieve
extensions. Once this is done it will continue processing submitted
IMAP/Sieve extensions, as well as work on a revision of IMAP (RFC 3501).
Work on updating this RFC will include appropriate corrections,
clarifications, or amplifications to reflect existing practice or
to address problems that have been identified through experience with
IMAP as currently specified. Also eligible for consideration is
the incorporation of accumulated errata or consolidation with newer documents
that have updated and/or extended the base specification. However,
any new functionality is expected to be pursued via
extensions rather than changes to the base protocol wherever possible.

If there is interest in revising SIEVE (RFC5228) and ManageSieve
(RFC5804), the WG will recharter.

Expressly excluded from this charter is work on any protocol for which a
dedicated working group already exists, such as DMARC, DCRUP or JMAP, as well
as any work on POP3, SMTP/LMTP and email format/MIME. However, each working group
should endeavor to remain aware of the activities of the other and collaborate
as needed.
