The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IMAP $Important Keyword and \Important Special-Use Attribute' (draft-ietf-extra-specialuse-important-04.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-specialuse-important/ Technical Summary This spec extends IMAP with an additional special-use [RFC6154] type for a mailbox (possibly virtual) which stores messages that may be important to the user. The document also creates a registry for mailbox uses to allow other uses to be defined in future. Working Group Summary The only topic of debate was how to make the the registry useful for JMAP and other non-IMAP specifications as well, which led to adding instructions to IANA for a free-form column with usage guidance. Document Quality An \Important special-use has been implemented by Gmail already, and all the other server implementations said it would be easy to add.
