RE: [lemonade] LEMONADE vs. P-IMAP
OMA is standardizing on the Lemonade profile bis, not P-IMAP. We leave
it to the IETF Lemonade WG to decide on what goes into that profile.

Subject: RE: [lemonade] LEMONADE vs. P-IMAP
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>.
