The lemonade working group charter includes enhancing Internet mail 
submission and retrieval protocols.  These enhancements are published 
as standards-track RFCs after having been produced by the lemonade 
working group.  To simplify things, the group is also producing a 
document called "Lemonade Profile".  This profile document describes 
how lemonade clients take advantage of the specific extensions, and 
specifies a minimum set of extensions that are supported by 
lemonade-compliant implementations.  The profile document references 
each of the specific extension (or other) documents.  In this way, we 
can speak of "IETF lemonade" and mean what is included in or 
referenced by the profile document.

The first version of the profile document has been published as RFC 
4550.  An updated version is being currently developed.

The term "P-IMAP" has no official meaning within the lemonade working group.

The lemonade charter is at 
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/lemonade-charter.html>.

RFC 3440 is available at <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4550.txt>.
