Dear Sebastian,
You mean two independent prtocols for mail access.
I am asking about low version compatibility.
Is it not compulsary to have support of lower versions?

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 h! as nothing to do with supporting older RFCs. IMAP4 and IMAP4rev1 are
simply different protocols, or rather different versions.
Cheers, Sebastian
