Re: [IMAP] APPEND Command Usage

Hi All,

Thanks for your response. 

New response code APPENDLIMIT will be returned as part of SELECT response to convey per mailbox limit 
 and APPEND command response, if the APPENTLIMIT size is exceeded.

C: t2 SELECT INBOX
S: * 172 EXISTS
S: * OK [APPENDLIMIT 257890] Maximum upload limit
S: [...]
S: t2 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed

C: t1 APPEND "Draft" (\SEEN \DRAFT) {98994952}
S: t1 NO [APPENDLIMIT 257890] Exceeds the maximum allowed size

Whereas TOOBIG response, does not covey the size restriction applied by the server. 

 resp-text-code =/ toobig-response-code / badurl-response-code
 toobig-response-code = "TOOBIG"

We feel APPENDLIMIT response can convey per mailbox size restriction and it can overcome the limitation of TOOBIG response. 

Please share your thoughts. 

Regards,
Jay

That RFC already suggests that the server return TOOBIG if construction of the server-side message exceeds a server-specific limit, but I'd imagine APPENDLIMIT=<n> would be a more useful response for those servers/clients that support APPENDLIMIT.

You have a very good point!
And yes, we should reuse the TOOBIG response code, if it can convey the per-mailbox limit.
