A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The Push-IMAP Protocol (P-IMAP)
Author(s) : S. Maes
Filename : draft-maes-lemonade-p-imap-01.txt
Pages : 32
Date : 2004-3-10
The Push-IMAP protocol (P-IMAP) defines extensions to the IMAPv4 rev1
protocol [RFC3501] for optimization in a mobile setting, aimed at
delivering extended functionality for mobile devices with limited
resources. The first enhancement of P-IMAP is that unlike a standard
IMAPv4 Rev1 server, which relies on the client to constantly initiate
contact to ask for state changes, the P-IMAP server can push crucial
changes to a client. In addition, P-IMAP contains extensions for
email filter management, message delivery, and maintaining up-to-date
personal information. Bindings to specific transport are explicitly
defined.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-maes-lemonade-p-imap-01.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.
