- I'm not sure Im following the nuances of this discussion. But I think there
- needs to be a way to embed non-IMAP commands into an IMAP stream, and
- systematically pass it down a line of server processes until someone can
- deal with it.
-
- I'm in a situation where we have 5-6K users of a mainframe database
- oriented mail system, with amazing filing and retrieval capabilities and a
- tty interface. We should be able to write an IMAP server for the
- mainframe, and enable access to the archives of messages via a snazzy gui,
- but will need to make homegrown RPC calls to access the indexes, or
- extended capabilities.
-
- Cant my client test this on connection and say:
-
- if (isConnectedToEMS)
- IMAPSend("A0001 EMBEDDED ( EMS Expire(4, 30 days) )"
- else
- IMAPSend("A0001 DELETE 4" )
-
-
- in such a way that the imapd will pass along the embedded command.
-
- Anyway, to come back to the thread, if this is reasonable, couldn't IMSP
- then send:
-
- A0001 EMBEDDED ( IMSP SetACL... )
