2.2.39 [RFC3501] Section 7, Server Responses

  • Article

C0004:

The specification states: "Certain server data MUST be recorded by the client when it is received;" and "Other server data SHOULD be recorded for later reference; if the client does not need to record the data, or if recording the data has no obvious purpose (e.g., a SEARCH response when no SEARCH command is in progress), the data SHOULD be ignored."

This part of the specification does not state which server data MUST be recorded. A thorough reading of the specification reveals that the client MUST record the following server data:

  • Mailbox size updates (section 5.2 of the specification)

  • Updates from the FLAGS response (section 7.2.6 of the specification)

  • Updates from the EXISTS response (section 7.3.1of the specification)

  • Updates from the RECENT response (section 7.3.2 of the specification)

  • Updates from the EXPUNGE response (section 7.4.1 of the specification)

Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010, Microsoft Outlook 2013, Microsoft Outlook 2016, Microsoft Outlook 2019
