Title : IMAP Extension for Conditional STORE operation
Author(s) : A. Melnikov, S. Hole
Filename : draft-ietf-imapext-condstore-06.txt
Pages : 16

Often, multiple IMAP (RFC 3501) clients need to coordinate changes to
a common IMAP mailbox. Examples include different clients working on
behalf of 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) 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.
This document defines an extension to IMAP (RFC 3501).

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-imapext-condstore-06.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.
