Subject: Re: [imapext] Three kinds of IMAP extensions

The drafts folder does not count because nothing appended there is big enough to care about this extension.
[Jay] On a mobile client it is very easy and frequent to attach a video to a mail and save. 
We, as a mobile client, have observed many instances where user attach a big files (video most of the time) and save the mail to their Drafts folder.
In fact, this was our primary motive behind this proposal.
 
The other folders... suppose you
are an iphone client, and you are to send mail, and it is big and you care about that. What do you do, upload twice, once to port 587 checking its limit and once to IMAP checking its limit? Or do you upload just to 587 and bcc yourself?
[Jay]If I BCC myself, it will come to my Inbox. People expect it in their Sent folder.  

This extension must be very
simple to understand and implement if it is to be worthwhile against such questions. I have no idea whether even the simplest is simple enough.
[Jay] I feel that this extension solves the over data usage problem, especially in a mobile environment.
Arnt
