Hi,

Assuming that a folder is shared (multiple clients, different people)
and has a large number of messages in it. What should be the correct
handing of the following (assuming that the fetch and search will take
significant time, say 20s).

Client A:

Sends commands:
FETCH .. (FLAGS .....)
SEARCH .....
This will take say 40s to complete (it's a big store)

Client B:
STORE 7500 (/deleted)
EXPUNGE

Under these circumstances, would you expect A to find the message was
removed after 40 seconds and B to have it removed immediately? Or Would
B not see any changes for 40s and assume that the server was broken.

If the latter then does it mean that every session MUST have its own
list of ALL message attributes? If that is true has any consideration
been made for the storage that will be required for a large store with
say 150 clients?



Regards Richard.
