STATUS=SIZE - document interaction with 64bit draft #10

Closed brong closed 6 years ago

brong commented 6 years ago

There's a comment in draft-bosch-imap-status-size-00:

[FIXME: Interaction with 64BIT capability]

This needs to be resolved before submission to standards track

stephanbosch commented 6 years ago

Right. However, the problem is that the 64BIT capability is not yet published. How should this be handled?

brong commented 6 years ago

I would recommend that you define the type as being the same as RFC822.SIZE, and then you don't need to mention anything about 64BIT, because support will naturally fall out of 64BIT when it gets published.

stephanbosch commented 6 years ago

I guess that is already the case then, since the SIZE item is described as follows "The total size of the mailbox in octets. This MUST be equal to the sum of the values of the RFC822.SIZE FETCH message data item [IMAP4rev1] of all messages in the mailbox."

It seems that it would be fine to just remove any mention of 64BIT considerations then.

stephanbosch commented 6 years ago

Ok, removed.
