Status of this Memo
This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document describes obsolete syntax which may be encountered by
IMAP4 implementations which deal with older versions of the Internet
Mail Access Protocol. IMAP4 implementations MAY implement this
syntax in order to maximize interoperability with older
implementations.
This document repeats information from earlier documents, most
notably RFC 1176 and RFC 1730.
Obsolete Commands and Fetch Data Items
The following commands are OBSOLETE. It is NOT required to support
any of these commands or fetch data items in new server
implementations. These commands are documented here for the benefit
of implementors who may wish to support them for compatibility with
old client implementations.
The section headings of these commands are intended to correspond
with where they would be located in the main document if they were
not obsoleted.
