With the exception of the APPEND command, most literals that are likely to
|
|
appear in an IMAP command are relatively small. UW and Panda IMAP have a
|
|
limit of 10,000 octets which is far more than what anything is ever likely
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
APPEND (and APPEND-class exceptions such as CATENATE) is the exception.
|
|
Those literals can be as large as an email message (so potentially
|
|
hundreds of megabytes).
|
|
|
|
Many servers handle APPEND as a special case command.
