RFC 4467: Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) - URLAUTH Extension

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 5092, RFC 5550. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document describes the URLAUTH extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) (RFC 3501) and the IMAP URL Scheme (IMAPURL) (RFC 2192). This extension provides a means by which an IMAP client can use URLs carrying authorization to access limited message data on the IMAP server. An IMAP server that supports this extension indicates this with a capability name of "URLAUTH". [STANDARDS-TRACK]
