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. 6.3.OBS.1.
