Andrzej Rusin created IMAP-370:
----------------------------------
Summary: Consider supporting the upcoming MOVE extension
Key: IMAP-370
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-370
Project: James Imap
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Protocol
Reporter: Andrzej Rusin
As we see at
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-imapmove-command/ballot/ IETF is
about to finally accept the IMAP MOVE extension.
This extension enables great performance optimization possibilities for the
more advanced Mailstore backends, eg the ones that use a underlying relational
or non-relational database:
One of the most common usage scenarios in IMAP is moving messages across
folders, and with the MOVE extention it can be finally accomplished without a
COPY/DELETE cycle on certain Mailbox backends.
Therefore, in my belief, it would be very nice to have that extension
implemented in James.
Some of the bundled Mailstore implementations already are based on SQL/noSQL
datasources, and can directly benefit from it.
Some of the independent Mailstore implementations (including mine) can benefit
from it too.
Some of IMAP clients (including Thunderbird as of 3.something) already support
that extension or the X-MOVE or X-AOL-MOVE one.
So James has a great opportunity to be the leader of standards adoption on the
server side.
