Abstract

The METADATA extension to the Internet Message Access Protocolpermits clients and servers to maintain "annotations" or "metadata"on IMAP servers. It is possible to have annotations on a per-mailboxbasis or on the server as a whole. For example, this would allowcomments about the purpose of a particular mailbox to be "attached"to that mailbox, or a "message of the day" containing server statusinformation to be made available to anyone logging in to the server.
