Done.
I think the document needs to define what "normalized" means here.
OK.
4. The THREAD=REFS Thread Algorithm The THREAD=REFS thread algorithm is defined as the part of THREAD=REFERENCES (see [RFC5256]) which concerns itself with the References, In-Reply-To and Message-ID fields. THREAD=REFS ignores Subject.Does this mean that the algorithm is effectively ignoring step (5) from RFC 5256?
Yes.
It is explicitly permitted for the server to persistently store threading information, even if this causes the server to return different information than it would otherwise. This can happen if the first messages in a thread are deleted, for example.This is a strange paragraph. Why is it needed?
If you thread incrementally as messages are added to the mailbox, and some messages are deleted, then your results may be slightly different from if you thread at read time. I want that to be OK.
