Re: [Imap-protocol] IMAP SUBMIT Extension, take two

Is that atomicity really required? And if it is, I don't think the 
three-step submit process gives you atomicity.

I like it in general, but I'd prefer a two- or even one-step process. 
Two-step could be "upload to outbox; submit from outbox". You can do the 
atomicity thing by saying that servers SHOULD lock a message in the outbox 
while it's being submitted, and refuse to resubmit.

Personally I don't think it's worth it. It's better to have simplicity, 
even at the cost of the occasional duplicated message.
