Hello, Do you know any rfc draft on an IMAP extension that allows an IMAP client to avoid using SMTP to sending a message? That extension should have provided a command for the client to tell the server what message to send from a mailbox? Thank you in advance. -- -- Best regards, Maxim mailto:max <at> ritlabs.com

One gets proposed every now and then, but none are active and none have got any traction.
Hello Dan, We develop a mail client and a mail server and our software already supports a protocol, but when we wanted to submit our draft, we were refused because a draft did already exists. Could you please send me all these all drafts, maybe we will adjust our software to these drafts or will publish our own draft? -- -- Best regards, Maxim mailto:max <at> ritlabs.com

Is it really that you want to avoid SMTP protocol, or you just want to avoid a new connection to another port? For Dovecot a few people wrote XEXEC command plugin a while ago for executing "external programs", and one example for that was SMTP. http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/xexec I'm not hugely interested in any kind of a send-mail-over-IMAP extension, but XEXEC-kind of an interface where you still talk SMTP seems like a better idea to me than converting full SMTP syntax over to IMAP.
