> I believe (based on some observations) that:
> A) maximum client command line length in James IMAP is 8192 as defined in org.apache.james.protocols.netty.AbstractChannelPipelineFactory.MAX_LINE_LENGTH.
> B) I do not think that IMAP RFC limits the line length, at least I did not find any reference of that.
> C) James IMAP does not seem to reply with BAD when it sees a too long line.
> D) Some clients send quite long lines (I just saw one about 23000 characters and sky is the limit) and they probably expect some answer, hanging indefinitely.
> So:
> 1. If B is true, then we should not practically really limit in A; or rather the limit should be really high. And looks like 640K is not enough for everyone anymore ;)
> 2. Probably C should be fixed.
