Hello at
all,
I had not much time
in the last half year to do something with the IMAP
implementation.
Today I've also
discussed with a friend of mine problems encountered with Outlook and Courier
IMAP and why such errors occur.
I think one of the
basic problems regarding to IMAP is, that there are several ways to get the same
informations.
Also IMAP is
(normally) only indended for Mail retrieval - Calendar or Contacts could be
saved in a IMAP Server - but with a mail-header.
So I thought to wite
a new IMAP Protocoll (XIMAP), based on XML messages would be a good
idea.
It should be no
problem to implement this in existing Mailserver as well as Clients for a
"migration path".
Seperated in
different Namespaces it is also possible to extend the protocoll for Voice Notes
or other message types.
Is anybody
interested in writing such a Internet Draft with me?
Also somebody could
implement this in James, f.e.
Regards,
Sascha
