Title : IMAP Extension for Conditional STORE Operation or
Quick Flag Changes Resynchronization
Author(s) : Alexey Melnikov

Abstract:
Often, multiple IMAP (RFC 3501) clients need to coordinate changes to
a common IMAP mailbox. Examples include different clients working on
behalf of the same user, and multiple users accessing shared
mailboxes. These clients need a mechanism to synchronize state
changes for messages within the mailbox. They must be able to
guarantee that only one client can change message state (e.g.,
message flags) at any time. An example of such an application is use
of an IMAP mailbox as a message queue with multiple dequeueing
clients.
The Conditional Store facility provides a protected update mechanism
for message state information that can detect and resolve conflicts
between multiple writing mail clients.
The Conditional Store facility also allows a client to quickly
resynchronize mailbox flag changes.
This document defines an extension to IMAP (RFC 3501).
