RFC 5162: IMAP4 Extensions for Quick Mailbox Resynchronization

This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 7162.

Current document in this lineage: RFC 7162 — IMAP Extensions: Quick Flag Changes Resynchronization (CONDSTORE) and Quick Mailbox Resynchronization (QRESYNC)

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

This document defines an IMAP4 extension, which gives an IMAP client the ability to quickly resynchronize any previously opened mailbox as part of the SELECT command, without the need for server-side state or additional client round-trips. This extension also introduces a new response that allows for a more compact representation of a list of expunged messages (and always includes the Unique Identifiers (UIDs) expunged).
