Re: Review - draft-ietf-imapapnd-appendlimit-extension-05

Hi Alexey,



Thanks for your review comments.



Please find the updated text below. Kindly review and share your views.



This extension provides server admins with the capability to configure the
maximum append limit size they will be expecting from the client. IMAP
server side processing of huge attachments above the available can be
avoided to a great extent, if this extension is supported at the IMAP
client.



Thanks & Regards
