Yes, and it's called ACAP. It's a companion protocol. (See the IMAP, IMSP and ACAP mailing list archives for the discussion which led to the design of ACAP.)



ACAP has always felt pretty unnecessary to me. Nothing really supports it and it looks like (I've just glanced over the RFC) it's functionality can be mostly done with ANNOTATEMORE, ANNOTATE and CONDSTORE extensions.

The first two documents (and partially the third, but it is also adds new IMAP specific functionality) are the result of ACAP not being widely deployed. They are the adaptations of two ACAP datasets in IMAP.
