Ballot Text

Technical Summary

  This spec extends IMAP with additional commands (GETQUOTA, GETQUOTAROOT,
  SETQUOTA) and new STATUS attributes (DELETED and DELETED-STORAGE),
  allowing clients to determine how much space is used by an IMAP account
  and how much additional space might be available.

Working Group Summary

  There was no significant disagreement.  The main questions were around
  whether particular features were worth including, and whether the syntax
  was reliably parseable for OVERQUOTA responses that included tags (they
  were eventually removed as being un-necessary and ambiguous).

Document Quality

  This spec is quite easy to implement.  Most IMAP servers are already
  basically compatible because they have implemented RFC2087.

  There is a normative reference to an experimental RFC (RFC5257) however
  this specification was written in 2008 and is widely enough used that we
  should probably update it to a Proposed Standard as well.
