Abstract
Many IMAP clients display information about total number ofmessages / total number of unseen messages in IMAP mailboxes. In order to dothat, they are forced to issue a LIST or LSUB command and to list allavailable mailboxes, followed by a STATUS command for each mailboxfound. This document provides an extension to LIST command thatallows the client to request STATUS information for mailboxestogether with other information typically returned by the LISTcommand.
