The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Support for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) Events in Sieve' (draft-ietf-sieve-imap-sieve-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pete Resnick and Barry Leiba. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sieve-imap-sieve/ Technical Summary This document defines how the Sieve email filtering language can plug into points in the IMAP protocol where messages are created or changed, adding the option of user-defined or installation-defined filtering (or, with Sieve extensions, features such as notifications). Working Group Summary This document originated from the Lemonade WG and was initially submitted back in 2005. In 2010 it was adopted by the SIEVE WG as Lemonade was closed. Since that time there have been several revision of the document prompted by mailing list discussions and face-to-face meetings. Note that many of the participants in the SIEVE WG are also IMAP "experts" so the interactions between SIEVE and IMAP have been fully covered. Whilst many people have reviewed and contributed to this document over its lifetime, the recent working group last call only garnered a few responses (all positive and supporting publication). That said, there has not been any significant controversy surrounding this document, and in the Chairs' opinion there is consensus to publish it. Document Quality There are no known implementations of this protocol to date. A number of vendors have indicated interest in it, with at least one stating they will start work on that soon.
