Technical Summary

   This document defines a new IMAP untagged response code,
   "INPROGRESS", that provides structured numeric progress status
   indication for long-running commands.

Working Group Summary

   This document went through several iterations based on feedback from
   multiple people both on the mailing list and during IETF meetings.
   The reviewers combine vast IMAP implementation and operational experience.
   There is broad agreement to publish.  Nothing unusual procedurally.

Document Quality

   There is one existing server implementation (Dovecot).
   Two other server vendors (Isode, Cyrus) have indicated plans to
   implement this extension.
   The existing implementation is not reported in this document but its
   source code is available on GitHub.
