hi,

what is the meaning of th capability responses?

(1a) one limit for all folders

a client receive an capability response with "global" appendlimit.

C: t1 CAPABILITY
S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ID APPENDLIMIT=257890 LIST-EXTENDED LIST-STATUS
S: t1 OK foo

are "a LIST "" % RETURN (STATUS (APPENDLIMIT))" or "a STATUS 
(APPENDLIMIT)" valid command's for the client?
must an server implement it? must an server reply APPENDLIMIT in 
SELECT/EXAMINE?
is it allowed for an server to return other APPENDLIMIT's in later 
SELECT/LIST/STATUS commands? if yes
change this the global limit, or overwrite it the local limit?

(1b)

a client receive an capability response with "local" append-limit (no 
LIST-STATUS capability).

C: t1 CAPABILITY
S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ID APPENDLIMIT
S: t1 OK foo

is "a LIST "" % RETURN (STATUS (APPENDLIMIT))" realy an valid command, 
also if the server don't support extended list?
must an server return APPENDLIMIT on every SELECT/EXAMINE command? also 
on read-only folders? is an APPENDLIMIT other than zero on EXAMINE not 
an false idea?

example:

A932 EXAMINE blurdybloop
S: * 17 EXISTS
S: * 2 RECENT
S: * OK [UNSEEN 8] Message 8 is first unseen
S: * OK [UIDVALIDITY 3857529045] UIDs valid
S: * OK [UIDNEXT 4392] Predicted next UID
S: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
S: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] No permanent flags permitted
S: * OK [APPENDLIMIT 0] Maximum upload limit
S: A932 OK [READ-ONLY] EXAMINE completed

Regards,
ThomasD
