As the demand for high-performance mail delivery agents increases,
it becomes apparent that single-machine solutions are inadequate to
the task, both because of capacity limits and that the failure of
the single machine means a loss of mail delivery for all users. It
is preferable to allow many machines to share the responsibility of
mail delivery.
The Mailbox Update (MUPDATE) protocol allows a group of Internet
Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol - Version 3
(POP3) servers to function with a unified mailbox namespace. This
document is intended to serve as a reference guide to that protocol.
This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
