FW: I-D ACTION:draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txtfyi - updates that were discussed during the Washington IETF mtg. Changes since April 99, draft-01 Incorporated comments from the list discussions: 1) Explicitly note that it is an error for the server to return both a \HasChildren and a \NoInferiors attribute in a LIST response. 2) Note that the \HasChildren and \HasNoChildren attribute may not apply to the LSUB command. 3) Note how \HasChildren and \HasNoChildren apply in the referral case. 4) Added back advertising CHILDREN in the capability response as was the consensus during the Washington IMAP-EXT WG. Rational was that this made it easier for clients. -----Original Message----- From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org [mailto:Internet-Drafts@ietf.org] Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 1999 3:55 AM Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : IMAP4 Child Mailbox Extension Author(s) : M. Gahrns, R. Cheng Filename : draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txt Pages : 7 Date : 14-Dec-99 Many IMAP4 [RFC-2060] clients present to the user a hierarchical view of the mailboxes that a user has access to. Rather than initially presenting to the user the entire mailbox hierarchy, it is often preferable to show to the user a collapsed outline list of the mailbox hierarchy (particularly if there is a large number of mailboxes). The user can then expand the collapsed outline hierarchy as needed. It is common to include within the collapsed hierarchy a visual clue (such as a ''+'') to indicate that there are child mailboxes under a particular mailbox. When the visual clue is clicked the hierarchy list is expanded to show the child mailboxes. The CHILDREN extension provides a mechanism for a client to efficiently determine if a particular mailbox has children, without issuing a LIST '' * or a LIST '' % for each mailbox name. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gahrns-imap-child-mailbox-02.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
