Abstract
|
||
|
||
The CATENATE extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
|
||
extends the APPEND command to allow clients to create messages on the
|
||
IMAP server that may contain a combination of new data along with
|
||
parts of (or entire) messages already on the server. Using this
|
||
extension, the client can catenate parts of an already existing
|
||
message onto a new message without having to first download the data
|
||
and then upload it back to the server.

RFC 4469 IMAP CATENATE Extension April 2006
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
The CATENATE extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
|
||
[1] allows the client to create a message on the server that can
|
||
include the text of messages (or parts of messages) that already
|
||
exist on the server without having to FETCH them and APPEND them back
|
||
to the server. The CATENATE extension extends the APPEND command so
|
||
that, instead of a single message literal, the command can take as
|
||
arguments any combination of message literals (as described in IMAP
|
||
[1]) and message URLs (as described in the IMAP URL Scheme [2]
|
||
specification). The server takes all the pieces and catenates them
|
||
into the output message. The CATENATE extension can also coexist
|
||
with the MULTIAPPEND extension [3] to APPEND multiple messages in a
|
||
single command.
|
||
|
||
There are some obvious uses for the CATENATE extension. The
|
||
motivating use case was to provide a way for a resource-constrained
|
||
client to compose a message for subsequent submission that contains
|
||
data that already exists in that client's IMAP store. Because the
|
||
client does not have to download and re-upload potentially large
|
||
message parts, bandwidth and processing limitations do not have as
|
||
much impact. In addition, since the client can create a message in
|
||
its own IMAP store, the command also addresses the desire of the
|
||
client to archive a copy of a sent message without having to upload
|
||
the message twice. (Mechanisms for sending the message are outside
|
||
the scope of this document.)
|
||
|
||
The extended APPEND command can also be used to copy parts of a
|
||
message to another mailbox for archival purposes while getting rid of
|
||
undesired parts. In environments where server storage is limited, a
|
||
client could get rid of large message parts by copying over only the
|
||
necessary parts and then deleting the original message. The
|
||
mechanism could also be used to add data to a message (such as
|
||
prepending message header fields) or to include other data by making
|
||
a copy of the original and catenating the new data.
|
||
|
||
2. The CATENATE Capability
|
||
|
||
A server that supports this extension returns "CATENATE" as one of
|
||
the responses to the CAPABILITY command.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
|
||
3. The APPEND Command
|
||
|
||
Arguments: mailbox name
|
||
(The following can be repeated in the presence of the
|
||
MULTIAPPEND extension [3])
|
||
OPTIONAL flag parenthesized list
|
||
OPTIONAL date/time string
|
||
a single message literal or one or more message parts to
|
||
catenate, specified as:
|
||
message literal
|
||
or
|
||
message (or message part) URL
|
||
|
||
Responses: OPTIONAL NO responses: BADURL, TOOBIG
|
||
|
||
Result: OK - append completed
|
||
NO - append error: can't append to that mailbox, error
|
||
in flags or date/time or message text, or can't
|
||
fetch that data
|
||
BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid
|
||
|
||
The APPEND command concatenates all the message parts and appends
|
||
them as a new message to the end of the specified mailbox. The
|
||
parenthesized flag list and date/time string set the flags and the
|
||
internal date, respectively, as described in IMAP [1]. The
|
||
subsequent command parameters specify the message parts that are
|
||
appended sequentially to the output message.
|
||
|
||
If the original form of APPEND is used, a message literal follows the
|
||
optional flag list and date/time string, which is appended as
|
||
described in IMAP [1]. If the extended form is used, "CATENATE" and
|
||
a parenthesized list of message literals and message URLs follows,
|
||
each of which is appended to the new message. If a message literal
|
||
is specified (indicated by "TEXT"), the octets following the count
|
||
are appended. If a message URL is specified (indicated by "URL"),
|
||
the octets of the body part pointed to by that URL are appended, as
|
||
if the literal returned in a FETCH BODY response were put in place of
|
||
the message part specifier. The APPEND command does not cause the
|
||
\Seen flag to be set for any catenated body part. The APPEND command
|
||
does not change the selected mailbox.
|
||
|
||
In the extended APPEND command, the string following "URL" is an IMAP
|
||
URL [2] and is interpreted according to the rules of [2]. The
|
||
present document only describes the behavior of the command using
|
||
IMAP URLs that refer to specific messages or message parts on the
|
||
current IMAP server from the current authenticated IMAP session.
|
||
Because of that, only relative IMAP message or message part URLs
|
||
(i.e., those having no scheme or <iserver>) are used. The base URL
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Resnick Standards Track [Page 3]
|
||
|
||
RFC 4469 IMAP CATENATE Extension April 2006
|
||
|
||
|
||
for evaluating the relative URL is considered "imap://user@server/",
|
||
where "user" is the user name of the currently authenticated user and
|
||
"server" is the domain name of the current server. When in the
|
||
selected state, the base URL is considered
|
||
"imap://user@server/mailbox", where "mailbox" is the encoded name of
|
||
the currently selected mailbox. Additionally, since the APPEND
|
||
command is valid in the authenticated state of an IMAP session, no
|
||
further LOGIN or AUTHENTICATE command is performed for URLs specified
|
||
in the extended APPEND command.
|
||
|
||
Note: Use of an absolute IMAP URL or any URL that refers to
|
||
anything other than a message or message part from the current
|
||
authenticated IMAP session is outside the scope of this document
|
||
and would require an extension to this specification, and a server
|
||
implementing only this specification would return NO to such a
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
The client is responsible for making sure that the catenated message
|
||
is in the format of an Internet Message Format (RFC 2822) [4] or
|
||
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) [5] message. In
|
||
particular, when a URL is catenated, the server copies octets,
|
||
unchanged, from the indicated message or message part to the
|
||
catenated message. It does no data conversion (e.g., MIME transfer
|
||
encodings) nor any verification that the data is appropriate for the
|
||
MIME part of the message into which it is inserted. The client is
|
||
also responsible for inserting appropriate MIME boundaries between
|
||
body parts, and writing MIME Content-Type and Content-Transfer-
|
||
Encoding lines as needed in the appropriate places.
|
||
|
||
Responses behave just as the original APPEND command described in
|
||
IMAP [1]. If the server implements the IMAP UIDPLUS extension [6],
|
||
it will also return an APPENDUID response code in the tagged OK
|
||
response. Two response codes are provided in Section 4 that can be
|
||
used in the tagged NO response if the APPEND command fails.
|
||
|
||
4. Response Codes
|
||
|
||
When a APPEND command fails, it may return a response code that
|
||
describes a reason for the failure.
|
||
|
||
4.1. BADURL Response
|
||
|
||
The BADURL response code is returned if the APPEND fails to process
|
||
one of the specified URLs. Possible reasons for this are bad URL
|
||
syntax, unrecognized URL schema, invalid message UID, or invalid body
|
||
part. The BADURL response code contains the first URL specified as a
|
||
parameter to the APPEND command that has caused the operation to
|
||
fail.
|
||
|
||

||

||

||
RFC 4469 IMAP CATENATE Extension April 2006
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.2. TOOBIG Response
|
||
|
||
The TOOBIG response code is returned if the resulting message will
|
||
exceed the 4-GB IMAP message limit. This might happen, for example,
|
||
if the client specifies 3 URLs for 2-GB messages. Note that even if
|
||
the server doesn't return TOOBIG, it still has to be defensive
|
||
against misbehaving or malicious clients that try to construct a
|
||
message over the 4-GB limit. The server may also wish to return the
|
||
TOOBIG response code if the resulting message exceeds a server-
|
||
specific message size limit.
|
||
|
||
5. Formal Syntax
|
||
|
||
The following syntax specification uses the Augmented Backus-Naur
|
||
Form (ABNF) [7] notation. Elements not defined here can be found in
|
||
the formal syntax of the ABNF [7], IMAP [1], and IMAP ABNF extensions
|
||
[8] specifications. Note that capability and resp-text-code are
|
||
extended from the IMAP [1] specification and append-data is extended
|
||
from the IMAP ABNF extensions [8] specification.
|
||
|
||
append-data =/ "CATENATE" SP "(" cat-part *(SP cat-part) ")"
|
||
|
||
cat-part = text-literal / url
|
||
|
||
text-literal = "TEXT" SP literal
|
||
|
||
url = "URL" SP astring
|
||
|
||
resp-text-code =/ toobig-response-code / badurl-response-code
|
||
|
||
toobig-response-code = "TOOBIG"
|
||
|
||
badurl-response-code = "BADURL" SP url-resp-text
|
||
|
||
url-resp-text = 1*(%x01-09 /
|
||
%x0B-0C /
|
||
%x0E-5B /
|
||
%x5D-FE) ; Any TEXT-CHAR except "]"
|
||
|
||
capability =/ "CATENATE"
|
||
|
||
The astring in the definition of url and the url-resp-text in the
|
||
definition of badurl-response-code each contain an imapurl as defined
|
||
by [2].

6. Acknowledgements
|
||
|
||
Thanks to the members of the LEMONADE working group for their input.
|
||
Special thanks to Alexey Melnikov for the examples.
|
||
|
||
7. Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
The CATENATE extension does not raise any security considerations
|
||
that are not present for the base protocol or in the use of IMAP
|
||
URLs, and these issues are discussed in the IMAP [1] and IMAP URL [2]
|
||
documents.
|
||
|
||
8. IANA Considerations
|
||
|
||
IMAP4 capabilities are registered by publishing a standards track or
|
||
IESG approved experimental RFC. The registry is currently located at
|
||
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/imap4-capabilities>. This document
|
||
defines the CATENATE IMAP capability. The IANA has added this
|
||
capability to the registry.

|
||
Lines not starting with "C: " or "S: " are continuations of the
|
||
previous lines.
|
||
|
||
The original message in examples 1 and 2 below (UID = 20) has the
|
||
following structure:
|
||
|
||
|
||
multipart/mixed MIME message with two body parts:
|
||
|
||
1. text/plain
|
||
|
||
2. application/x-zip-compressed
|
||
|
||
Example 1: The following example demonstrates how a CATENATE client
|
||
can replace an attachment in a draft message, without the need to
|
||
download it to the client and upload it back.
|
||
|
||
C: A003 APPEND Drafts (\Seen \Draft $MDNSent) CATENATE

||
Example 2: The following example demonstrates how the CATENATE
|
||
extension can be used to replace edited text in a draft message, as
|
||
well as header fields for the top level message part (e.g., Subject
|
||
has changed). The previous version of the draft is marked as
|
||
\Deleted. Note that the server also supports the UIDPLUS extension,
|
||
so the APPENDUID response code is returned in the successful OK
|
||
response to the APPEND command.
