Title: Push Extensions to the IMAP Protocol (P-IMAP)

Push Extensions to the IMAP protocol (P-IMAP) defines extensions to the
IMAPv4 Rev1 protocol [RFC 3501] for optimization in a mobile setting, aimed
at delivering extended functionality for mobile devices with limited
resources. The first enhancement of P-IMAP is extended support to push
crucial changes actively to a client, rather then requiring the client to
initiate contact to ask for state changes. In addition, P-IMAP contains
extensions for email filter management, message delivery, and maintaining
up-to-date personal information. Bindings to specific transport are
explicitly defined. Eventually P-IMAP aims at being neutral to the network
transport neutrality.
