Using TLS with IMAP, POP3 and ACAP
RFC 2595, “Using TLS with IMAP, POP3 and ACAP”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 1999 by C. Newman. It has since been updated by RFC 4616, RFC 7817, RFC 8314. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Recognizing that such sites will desire simple password authentication in combination with TLS encryption, this specification defines the PLAIN SASL mechanism for use with protocols which lack a simple password authentication command such as ACAP and SMTP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
