IMAP4 Extension to SEARCH Command for Controlling What Kind of Information Is Returned
RFC 4731, “IMAP4 Extension to SEARCH Command for Controlling What Kind of Information Is Returned”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2006 by A. Melnikov, D. Cridland. It has since been updated by RFC 9394. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document extends IMAP (RFC 3501) SEARCH and UID SEARCH commands with several result options, which can control what kind of information is returned. The following result options are defined: minimal value, maximal value, all found messages, and number of found messages. [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.
