Title : Advanced Groupware Access Protocol
Author(s) : I. Radu
Filename : draft-iulian-advanced-groupware-access-protocol-02.txt
Pages : 76
Date : 2010-11-14
The Advanced Groupware Access Protocol, (AGAP) allows a client to
access and store electronic mail messages, contacts, events, files,
and configurations on a server. The electronic mail messages can be
grouped in folders. AGAP also provides the capability for an offline
client to resynchronize with the server.
AGAP does not specify a means of posting electronic mail messages;
this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as SMTP
[RFC2821]. It also does not specify a means for exchanging messages
with contacts that are reported as being online; this function is
handled by an instant messaging protocol such as XMPP [RFC3921].
AGAP includes the following operations for electronic mail messages:
creating, deleting, renaming, moving and coping mail folders;
checking for new messages; permanently removing messages; moving and
coping messages between folders; fetching information about a
message; setting and clearing tags for messages; searching in
messages; retrieving only a part of a message; marking messages as
spam; deleting attachments from a message.
AGAP includes the following operations to manipulate the contacts:
creating, deleting, moving, coping, tagging, and searching contacts;
checking if a contact is online; fetching information about a
contact.
AGAP includes the following operations related to the use of the
events: creating, deleting, moving, coping and tagging events in
calendar; fetching events details; searching for events.
All entries are read and written in format XML encoded UTF-8
[RFC3629] and each entry is identified by a unique alphanumeric
identifier.
AGAP is designed to support access only to a single server per
connection. It is also designed to balance the volume of text
exchanged between the server and clients and its readability by
humans for debugging.Status of this Memo
