[jira] [Updated] (IMAP-370) Consider supporting the upcoming MOVE
extension
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAP-370?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Andrzej Rusin updated IMAP-370:
-------------------------------
Attachment: IMAP-370-2.patch
Not sure if you meant that - other option would be to do a new CopyProcessor in DefaultProcessorChain, but I think it would be more complicated

> As we see at http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-imapmove-command/ballot/ IETF is about to finally accept the IMAP MOVE extension.
> This extension enables great performance optimization possibilities for the more advanced Mailstore backends, eg the ones that use a underlying relational or non-relational database:
> One of the most common usage scenarios in IMAP is moving messages across folders, and with the MOVE extention it can be finally accomplished without a COPY/DELETE cycle on certain Mailbox backends.
> Therefore, in my belief, it would be very nice to have that extension implemented in James.
> Some of the bundled Mailstore implementations already are based on SQL/noSQL datasources, and can directly benefit from it.
> Some of the independent Mailstore implementations (including mine) can benefit from it too.
> Some of IMAP clients (including Thunderbird as of 3.something) already support that extension or the X-MOVE or X-AOL-MOVE one.
> So James has a great opportunity to be the leader of standards adoption on the server side.
> What do you think? Please comment.
