And if that current selected context is read-only via EXAMINE, my understanding/belief is that an APPEND cannot be successful since that would be an action that causes a "change[] to the permanent state of the mailbox". This is only talking about changes to flags/per-message state, EXAMINE was not suppose to prevent message injections and APPENDs. _______________________________________________ imapext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/imapext
