The electronic mail messages can be grouped in folders. AGAP also provides the capability for an offline client to resynchronize with the server. AGAP does not specify a means of posting electronic mail messages; this function is handled by a mail transfer protocol such as SMTP {[}RFC2821{]} . It also does not specify a means for exchanging messages with contacts that are reported as being online; this function is handled by an instant messaging protocol such as XMPP {[}RFC3921{]} . AGAP includes the following operations for electronic mail messages: creating, deleting, renaming, moving and coping mail folders; checking for new messages; permanently removing messages; moving and coping messages between folders; fetching information about a message; setting and clearing tags for messages; searching in messages; retrieving only a part of a message; marking messages as SPAM; deleting attachments from a message. AGAP includes the following operations to manipulate the contacts: creating, deleting, moving, coping, tagging, and searching contacts; checking if a contact is online; fetching information about a contact. AGAP includes the following operations related to the use of the events: creating, deleting, moving, coping and tagging events in calendar; fetching events details; searching for events. All items are read and written in format XML encoded UTF-8 {[}RFC3629{]} and each item is identified by a unique alphanumeric identifier. AGAP is designed to support access only to a single server per connection. It is also designed to balance the volume of text exchanged between the server and clients and its readability by humans for debugging.}, }
