This specification extends the Internet Message Access Protocol,
specifically IMAP4rev1 (RFC 3501), to support UTF-8 encoded
international characters in user names, mail addresses, and message
headers.  This specification replaces RFC 6855. This specification
does not extend IMAP4rev2 (RFC 9051), since that protocol includes
everything in this extension.

This document is a product of the Email mailstore and eXtensions To Revise or Amend Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
