Add support for RFC 9586 “Using and Returning UIDs Only” (aka. UIDONLY) #758

Closed danieleggert closed 4 months ago

danieleggert commented 4 months ago

This adds support for RFC 9586 aka. UIDONLY.

Motivation:

Enabling UIDONLY disables all sequence number based commands and responses in IMAP, instead entirely relying on UIDs. This can reduce resource usage on both client and server.

Modifications:

Adds UIDONLY capability
Adds UIDREQUIRED response text code (error code)
Adds UIDFETCH response

Details are in RFC 9586.

Result:

This allows using RFC 9586.
