Technical Summary The document specifies two IMAP extensions: LITERAL+ and LITERAL-. LITERAL+ allows the alternate form of literals in all IMAP commands. LITERAL- is the same as LITERAL+, but disallows the alternate form of literals unless they are 4096 bytes or less. This replaces RFC 2088, which originally defined LITERAL+ as Proposed Standard. Review and Consensus The document was reviewed by the Imapapnd Working Group. There was a small number of participants interested in the draft. There was WG Consensus on the IMAP4 non-synchronizing literals document. Personnel S. Moonesamy is the Document Shepherd for this document. Ben Campbell is the Responsible Area Director.
