Crispin -Request for Comments: 4315 December 2005 -Obsoletes: 2359 -Category: Standards Track - - - Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - UIDPLUS extension - -Status of This Memo - - 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 "Internet - Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state - and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. - -Copyright Notice - - Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2005). - -Abstract - - The UIDPLUS extension of the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - provides a set of features intended to reduce the amount of time and - resources used by some client operations. The features in UIDPLUS - are primarily intended for disconnected-use clients. - -1. Introduction and Overview - - The UIDPLUS extension is present in any IMAP server implementation - that returns "UIDPLUS" as one of the supported capabilities to the - CAPABILITY command. - - The UIDPLUS extension defines an additional command. In addition, - this document recommends new status response codes in IMAP that - SHOULD be returned by all server implementations, regardless of - whether or not the UIDPLUS extension is implemented. - - The added facilities of the features in UIDPLUS are optimizations; - clients can provide equivalent functionality, albeit less - efficiently, by using facilities in the base protocol. - -1.1. Conventions Used in This Document - - In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client and - server, respectively. - - - - - -Crispin Standards Track [Page 1] - -RFC 4315 IMAP - UIDPLUS Extension December 2005 - - - The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", - "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to - be interpreted as described in [KEYWORDS]. - - A "UID set" is similar to the [IMAP] sequence set; however, the "*" - value for a sequence number is not permitted. - -2. Additional Commands - - The following command definition is an extension to [IMAP] section - 6.4. - -2.1. UID EXPUNGE Command - - Arguments: sequence set - - Data: untagged responses: EXPUNGE - - Result: OK - expunge completed - NO - expunge failure (e.g., permission denied) - BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid - - The UID EXPUNGE command permanently removes all messages that both - have the \Deleted flag set and have a UID that is included in the - specified sequence set from the currently selected mailbox. If a - message either does not have the \Deleted flag set or has a UID - that is not included in the specified sequence set, it is not - affected. - - This command is particularly useful for disconnected use clients. - By using UID EXPUNGE instead of EXPUNGE when resynchronizing with - the server, the client can ensure that it does not inadvertantly - remove any messages that have been marked as \Deleted by other - clients between the time that the client was last connected and - the time the client resynchronizes. - - If the server does not support the UIDPLUS capability, the client - should fall back to using the STORE command to temporarily remove - the \Deleted flag from messages it does not want to remove, then - issuing the EXPUNGE command. Finally, the client should use the - STORE command to restore the \Deleted flag on the messages in - which it was temporarily removed. - - Alternatively, the client may fall back to using just the EXPUNGE - command, risking the unintended removal of some messages. - - - - - - -Crispin Standards Track [Page 2] - -RFC 4315 IMAP - UIDPLUS Extension December 2005 - - - Example: C: A003 UID EXPUNGE 3000:3002 - S: * 3 EXPUNGE - S: * 3 EXPUNGE - S: * 3 EXPUNGE - S: A003 OK UID EXPUNGE completed - -3. Additional Response Codes - - The following response codes are extensions to the response codes - defined in [IMAP] section 7.1. With limited exceptions, discussed - below, server implementations that advertise the UIDPLUS extension - SHOULD return these response codes. - - In the case of a mailbox that has permissions set so that the client - can COPY or APPEND to the mailbox, but not SELECT or EXAMINE it, the - server SHOULD NOT send an APPENDUID or COPYUID response code as it - would disclose information about the mailbox. - - In the case of a mailbox that has UIDNOTSTICKY status (as defined - below), the server MAY omit the APPENDUID or COPYUID response code as - it is not meaningful. - - If the server does not return the APPENDUID or COPYUID response - codes, the client can discover this information by selecting the - destination mailbox. The location of messages placed in the - destination mailbox by COPY or APPEND can be determined by using - FETCH and/or SEARCH commands (e.g., for Message-ID or some unique - marker placed in the message in an APPEND). - - APPENDUID - - Followed by the UIDVALIDITY of the destination mailbox and the UID - assigned to the appended message in the destination mailbox, - indicates that the message has been appended to the destination - mailbox with that UID. - - If the server also supports the [MULTIAPPEND] extension, and if - multiple messages were appended in the APPEND command, then the - second value is a UID set containing the UIDs assigned to the - appended messages, in the order they were transmitted in the - APPEND command. This UID set may not contain extraneous UIDs or - the symbol "*". - - Note: the UID set form of the APPENDUID response code MUST NOT - be used if only a single message was appended. In particular, - a server MUST NOT send a range such as 123:123. This is - because a client that does not support [MULTIAPPEND] expects - only a single UID and not a UID set. - - - -Crispin Standards Track [Page 3] - -RFC 4315 IMAP - UIDPLUS Extension December 2005 - - - UIDs are assigned in strictly ascending order in the mailbox - (refer to [IMAP], section 2.3.1.1) and UID ranges are as in - [IMAP]; in particular, note that a range of 12:10 is exactly - equivalent to 10:12 and refers to the sequence 10,11,12. - - This response code is returned in a tagged OK response to the - APPEND command. - - COPYUID - - Followed by the UIDVALIDITY of the destination mailbox, a UID set - containing the UIDs of the message(s) in the source mailbox that - were copied to the destination mailbox and containing the UIDs - assigned to the copied message(s) in the destination mailbox, - indicates that the message(s) have been copied to the destination - mailbox with the stated UID(s). - - The source UID set is in the order the message(s) were copied; the - destination UID set corresponds to the source UID set and is in - the same order. Neither of the UID sets may contain extraneous - UIDs or the symbol "*". - - UIDs are assigned in strictly ascending order in the mailbox - (refer to [IMAP], section 2.3.1.1) and UID ranges are as in - [IMAP]; in particular, note that a range of 12:10 is exactly - equivalent to 10:12 and refers to the sequence 10,11,12. - - This response code is returned in a tagged OK response to the COPY - command. - - UIDNOTSTICKY - - The selected mailbox is supported by a mail store that does not - support persistent UIDs; that is, UIDVALIDITY will be different - each time the mailbox is selected. Consequently, APPEND or COPY - to this mailbox will not return an APPENDUID or COPYUID response - code. - - This response code is returned in an untagged NO response to the - SELECT command. - - Note: servers SHOULD NOT have any UIDNOTSTICKY mail stores. - This facility exists to support legacy mail stores in which it - is technically infeasible to support persistent UIDs. This - should be avoided when designing new mail stores. - - - - - - -Crispin Standards Track [Page 4] - -RFC 4315 IMAP - UIDPLUS Extension December 2005 - - - Example: C: A003 APPEND saved-messages (\Seen) {297} - C: Date: Mon, 7 Feb 1994 21:52:25 -0800 (PST) - C: From: Fred Foobar <foobar@example.com> - C: Subject: afternoon meeting - C: To: mooch@example.com - C: Message-Id: <B27397-0100000@example.com> - C: MIME-Version: 1.0 - C: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII - C: - C: Hello Joe, do you think we can meet at 3:30 tomorrow? - C: - S: A003 OK [APPENDUID 38505 3955] APPEND completed - C: A004 COPY 2:4 meeting - S: A004 OK [COPYUID 38505 304,319:320 3956:3958] Done - C: A005 UID COPY 305:310 meeting - S: A005 OK No matching messages, so nothing copied - C: A006 COPY 2 funny - S: A006 OK Done - C: A007 SELECT funny - S: * 1 EXISTS - S: * 1 RECENT - S: * OK [UNSEEN 1] Message 1 is first unseen - S: * OK [UIDVALIDITY 3857529045] Validity session-only - S: * OK [UIDNEXT 2] Predicted next UID - S: * NO [UIDNOTSTICKY] Non-persistent UIDs - S: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft) - S: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Deleted \Seen)] Limited - S: A007 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed - - In this example, A003 and A004 demonstrate successful appending and - copying to a mailbox that returns the UIDs assigned to the messages. - A005 is an example in which no messages were copied; this is because - in A003, we see that message 2 had UID 304, and message 3 had UID - 319; therefore, UIDs 305 through 310 do not exist (refer to section - 2.3.1.1 of [IMAP] for further explanation).

Security Considerations - - The COPYUID and APPENDUID response codes return information about the - mailbox, which may be considered sensitive if the mailbox has - permissions set that permit the client to COPY or APPEND to the - mailbox, but not SELECT or EXAMINE it. - - Consequently, these response codes SHOULD NOT be issued if the client - does not have access to SELECT or EXAMINE the mailbox. - -6.
