Abstract

This document updates the QRESYNC extension of the IMAP protocol to use a new untagged response, the ARRIVED one, to inform about the UIDs of newly arriving messages. Deprecating the EXISTS response, this extension prevents a possible race condition where clients can lose synchronization of message UIDs in a selected mailbox when new arrivals are immediately expunged.
