IMAP Access to IETF Email List Archives
RFC 7017, “IMAP Access to IETF Email List Archives”, is an Informational document published in August 2013 by R. Sparks. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The IETF makes heavy use of email lists to conduct its work. This often involves accessing the archived history of those email lists. Participants would like to have the ability to browse and search those archives using standard IMAP clients. This memo captures the requirements for providing a service that would allow such browsing and searching, and it is intended as input to a later activity for the design and development of such a service.
What “Informational” means
