Title : IMAP Extensions for Conditional STORE Operation or Quick Flag Changes Resynchronization (CONDSTORE) and Quick Mailbox Resynchronization (QRESYNC)

Abstract:
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 efficiently synchronize
state changes for messages within the mailbox.
The Conditional Store facility provides a protected update mechanism
for message state information -- for example, the mechanism can be
used to guarantee that only one client can change message state at
any time -- and a mechanism for requesting only changes to message
state.
This document additionally defines another IMAP extension, Quick
Resynchronization, which builds on the Conditional Store extension to
provide an IMAP client the ability to fully resynchronize a mailbox
as part of the SELECT/EXAMINE command, without the need for
additional server-side state or client round-trips.
This document obsoletes RFC 4551 and RFC 5162. It updates RFC 4315,
RFC 3501 and RFC 2683.
