IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes
RFC 6154, “IMAP LIST Extension for Special-Use Mailboxes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2011 by B. Leiba, J. Nicolson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Some IMAP message stores include special-use mailboxes, such as those used to hold draft messages or sent messages. Many mail clients allow users to specify where draft or sent messages should be put, but configuring them requires that the user know which mailboxes the server has set aside for these purposes. This extension adds new optional mailbox attributes that a server may include in IMAP LIST command responses to identify special-use mailboxes to the client, easing configuration. [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.
