A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Message Access Protocol Extension Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: IMAP Extension for Conditional STORE operation

Often, multiple IMAP clients need to coordinate changes to a common
IMAP mailbox.  Examples include different clients for the same user,
and multiple users accessing shared mailboxes. These clients
need a mechanism to synchronize state changes for messages within the
mailbox. They must be able to guarantee that only one client can change
message state (e.g., message flags or annotations) at any time.  An
example of such an application is use of an IMAP mailbox as a message
queue with multiple dequeueing clients.
The Conditional Store facility provides a protected update mechanism for
message state information that can detect and resolve conflicts between
multiple writing mail clients.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imapext-condstore-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
