I am developing an IMAP client, according to my client requirement, I am following rfc1730. My client asked for support of PARTIAL command. But I have latest version of UW IMAP server, it is not supporting PARTIAL command. In this scenario how can i supprot this command.
rfc 1730 is obsoleted by rfc 2060.
My qestion is whether latest IMAP servers support obsoleted rfcs or not?
That depends. RFC 1730 is for IMAP4, whereas RFC 2060 and RFC 3501 describe IMAP4rev1. If a server tells you that it supports IMAP4 it will have the PARTIAL command. An example is Cyrus, which supports both IMAP4 and IMAP4rev1. If, however, the server only supports IMAP4rev1, it will not. This has nothing to do with supporting older RFCs. IMAP4 and IMAP4rev1 are simply different protocols, or rather different versions.
