Hi, I'm implementing RCS message storage server (which is used for Joyn messaging). RCS uses IMAP to access/synchronize chat logs from multiple clients. RCS specification specifies that new mailbox should be created for every new conversation (1-1 chat, and group chat). It implies that a user may have hundreds of mailboxes. IMAP has several extensions that helps to reduce both number of commands and bandwidth while synchronizing single mailbox (for example, RFC5162). However it seems that there is no extension to help synchronizing multiple mailboxes at once. That means that if a user has a 100 mailboxes, it will execute at least 100 commands to server every time it lost connection between server, which is quite frequent in mobile environment. Our goal is a build a server which can handle million subscribers, and it seems infeasible to build such server when each clients send 100 commands every time it reconnects to server. Is there any solutions or IMAP extensions that solves the problem?
