The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - STATUS=SIZE Extension' (draft-ietf-extra-imap-status-size-02.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 Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Ben Campbell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-extra-imap-status-size/ Technical Summary This spec extends IMAP to provide a way for clients to access a piece of data that many servers already keep, the total size of a mailbox. Working Group Summary The only topic of debate was how tightly to define the method for calculating the size. Many servers already implement a non-standard way to access this information, and many clients want access to the information. Document Quality The Dovecot server already implements it. It was implemented on the day it was proposed in the Cyrus IMAPd server. Other vendors have stated their intention to implement. All the server and client authors said that they would be able to implement the standard easily and agreed it was the best way to do it.
