I don't know of any yet. The RFC is brandnew. But I plan to ask at relevant mailing lists for adoption of the new feature. AFAIK iPhone and gmail actually had done something simliar (XLIST) for their clients and servers. As for Outlook I am left to speculation. I believe Outlook will be the last, if at all, to work on any IMAP client feature richness. It would cannibalise their own market i.e. using Outlook as Exchange client. But Thunderbird, Apple Mail, smartphone IMAP clients and of course webmail clients will hopefully adopt the standard. It should be in their interest to implement a feature that mobilizes or eases mobilization in a world full of mobile users. p@rick -- state of mind Digitale Kommunikation http://www.state-of-mind.de Franziskanerstraße 15 Telefon +49 89 3090 4664 81669 München Telefax +49 89 3090 4666 Amtsgericht München Partnerschaftsregister PR 563
