The IESG has approved the following document: - 'IMAP REPLACE Extension' (draft-ietf-extra-imap-replace-03.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adam Roach, Alexey Melnikov and Ben Campbell. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-extra-imap-replace/ Technical Summary This spec extends IMAP to provide a way for clients to replace an existing message with a new message. This is particularly useful for updating Draft messages, as it can avoid transient quota limitations. Working Group Summary This is a draft which has been around for a while without a good working group to progress it. There was some discussion of whether it could be implemented as an extension to the existing APPEND command instead, but the need to have a mailbox selected in order to EXPUNGE the original message made it clear that a new command would be more consistent. Document Quality The document spells out interactions with other extensions. Several implementors are interested in implementing this extension.
