The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IMAP Paged SEARCH & FETCH Extension' (draft-ietf-extra-imap-partial-04.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-extra-imap-partial/ Technical Summary The PARTIAL extension of the Internet Message Access Protocol (RFC 3501/RFC 9051) allows clients to limit the number of search results returned, as well as to perform incremental (paged) searches. This also helps servers to optimize resource usage when performing searches. This document extends PARTIAL SEARCH return option originally specified in RFC 5267. It also clarifies some interactions between RFC 5267 and RFC 4731/RFC 9051. Working Group Summary The first version of this document had objections, and it was rewritten to be something quite simple. The group is quite small, and everybody who responded was positive about this version. Document Quality This is implemented by Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google in their proxies for talking with the Yahoo and AOL servers. There are no additional formal reviews required. Personnel Bron Gondwana is the document shepherd. Murray Kucherawy is the responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
