RE: [lemonade] LEMONADE vs. P-IMAP

["Stephane H. Maes" <stephane.maes at oracle.com>]

It should have been clear to all and was clear stated for example in the latest published version that P-IMAP was our submission to the IETF and OMA process as well as an interim solution awaiting the standard.

P-IMAp is not the object of any separate standardization activity. IETF Lemonade and OMA MEM are where this is happening.

P-IMAP 13 is pointing to Lemonade profile bis and only to P-IMAp for backward compatibility purposes.

I hope it clarifies.

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>.
