I've read the latest draft, and I have some question about how to handle the RECENT flag in my imap-server implementation. Rather, I have some statements which I would appreciate if you say they're true or false (and if so, what is the correct way).
- Multiple sessions doing STATUS or EXAMINE will all recieve the same RECENT number. - Doing a NOOP without having done a SELECT or EXAMINE will not return any RECENT (just 'OK completed'). - The first session that SELECT a folder will recieve RECENT number, following sessions will get 0 RECENT (with SELECT or any of NOOP, STATUS or EXAMINE). - When a session CLOSE or SELECT all known RECENT messages are lost. - If two sessions have SELECT the same folder and a new message arrives, only the first to do a NOOP gets the RECENT number. The other will get RECENT 0 (with NOOP or any of STATUS, SELECT or EXAMINE). - A session does SELECT and recieves 1 RECENT. A new message arrives. When the session sends NOOP it will recieve 2 RECENT (the previously received RECENT and the RECENT for the new message). - A session does SELECT and receives 1 RECENT. A new message arrives. When the sessions sends STATUS for the same folder it will recieve 1 RECENT (the RECENT for the new message). The new RECENT will be available for others to see unless the session does a NOOP. - /Recent is set for any message added with APPEND or COPY. It will not be set for messages altered with STORE. Many thanks for any help in sorting this out.
