Document: draft-ietf-extra-imap-partial-02
Reviewer: Yingzhen Qu
Review Date: 2022-11-20

Summary:
This document extends PARTIAL SEARCH return option defined in RFC 5267.
The document is ready, but the following nits should be considered
before publication.

General: this documents still has a normative reference to RFC 3501, which
was obsoleted by RFC 9051. RFC 3501 is referenced multiple times in the
draft.

Nits (line numbers are from idnits):

90   This document defines an extension to the Internet Message Access
91   Protocol [RFC3501] for performing incremental searches and fetches.

major: RFC 9051 should be referenced here instead of RFC 3501.

101   This document extends PARTIAL SEARCH return option originally

nits: should it be "PARTIAL SEARCH" (used 4 times) or "PARTIAL search"
(used 2 times)? 

245	          +------------------------------+---------------------+
246	          |    SAVE PARTIAL COUNT [m]    |  all found messages |
247	          +------------------------------+---------------------+

249	                                 Table 1

251	   where '[m]' means optional "MIN" and/or "MAX"

Question: If the SAVE + PARTIAL result options are combined with COUNT,
MIN and MAX, what the result would be? The text above the table didn't
cover this case.
