           The JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP) for Mail

Abstract

   This document specifies a data model for synchronising email data
   with a server using the JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP).
   Clients can use this to efficiently search, access, organise, and
   send messages, and to get push notifications for fast
   resynchronisation when new messages are delivered or a change is made
   in another client.

1.  Introduction

   The JSON Meta Application Protocol (JMAP) [RFC8620] is a generic
   protocol for synchronising data, such as mail, calendars, or contacts
   between a client and a server.  It is optimised for mobile and web
   environments and aims to provide a consistent interface to different
   data types.

   This specification defines a data model for accessing a mail store
   over JMAP, allowing you to query, read, organise, and submit mail for
   sending.

   The data model is designed to allow a server to provide consistent
   access to the same data via IMAP [RFC3501] as well as JMAP.  As in
   IMAP, a message must belong to a mailbox; however, in JMAP, its id
   does not change if you move it between mailboxes, and the server may
   allow it to belong to multiple mailboxes simultaneously (often
   exposed in a user agent as labels rather than folders).

   As in IMAP, messages may also be assigned zero or more keywords:
   short arbitrary strings.  These are primarily intended to store
   metadata to inform client display, such as unread status or whether a
   message has been replied to.  An IANA registry allows common
   semantics to be shared between clients and extended easily in the
   future.

   A message and its replies are linked on the server by a common Thread
   id.  Clients may fetch the list of messages with a particular Thread
   id to more easily present a threaded or conversational interface.

   Permissions for message access happen on a per-mailbox basis.
   Servers may give the user restricted permissions for certain
   mailboxes, for example, if another user's inbox has been shared as
   read-only with them.

1.1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   Type signatures, examples, and property descriptions in this document
   follow the conventions established in Section 1.1 of [RFC8620].  Data
   types defined in the core specification are also used in this
   document.

   Servers MUST support all properties specified for the new data types
   defined in this document.

1.2.  Terminology

   This document uses the same terminology as in the core JMAP
   specification.

   The terms Mailbox, Thread, Email, SearchSnippet, EmailSubmission and
   VacationResponse (with that specific capitalisation) are used to
   refer to the data types defined in this document and instances of
   those data types.

   The term message refers to a document in Internet Message Format, as
   described in [RFC5322].  The Email data type represents messages in
   the mail store and associated metadata.

1.3.  Additions to the Capabilities Object

   The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session
   object; see [RFC8620], Section 2.

   This document defines three additional capability URIs.

1.3.1.  urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail

   This represents support for the Mailbox, Thread, Email, and
   SearchSnippet data types and associated API methods.  The value of
   this property in the JMAP session "capabilities" property is an empty
   object.

   The value of this property in an account's "accountCapabilities"
   property is an object that MUST contain the following information on
   server capabilities and permissions for that account:

   o  maxMailboxesPerEmail: "UnsignedInt|null"

      The maximum number of Mailboxes (see Section 2) that can be can
      assigned to a single Email object (see Section 4).  This MUST be
      an integer >= 1, or null for no limit (or rather, the limit is
      always the number of Mailboxes in the account).





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  maxMailboxDepth: "UnsignedInt|null"

      The maximum depth of the Mailbox hierarchy (i.e., one more than
      the maximum number of ancestors a Mailbox may have), or null for
      no limit.

   o  maxSizeMailboxName: "UnsignedInt"

      The maximum length, in (UTF-8) octets, allowed for the name of a
      Mailbox.  This MUST be at least 100, although it is recommended
      servers allow more.

   o  maxSizeAttachmentsPerEmail: "UnsignedInt"

      The maximum total size of attachments, in octets, allowed for a
      single Email object.  A server MAY still reject the import or
      creation of an Email with a lower attachment size total (for
      example, if the body includes several megabytes of text, causing
      the size of the encoded MIME structure to be over some server-
      defined limit).

      Note that this limit is for the sum of unencoded attachment sizes.
      Users are generally not knowledgeable about encoding overhead,
      etc., nor should they need to be, so marketing and help materials
      normally tell them the "max size attachments".  This is the
      unencoded size they see on their hard drive, so this capability
      matches that and allows the client to consistently enforce what
      the user understands as the limit.

      The server may separately have a limit for the total size of the
      message [RFC5322], created by combining the attachments (often
      base64 encoded) with the message headers and bodies.  For example,
      suppose the server advertises "maxSizeAttachmentsPerEmail:
      50000000" (50 MB).  The enforced server limit may be for a message
      size of 70000000 octets.  Even with base64 encoding and a 2 MB
      HTML body, 50 MB attachments would fit under this limit.

   o  emailQuerySortOptions: "String[]"

      A list of all the values the server supports for the "property"
      field of the Comparator object in an "Email/query" sort (see
      Section 4.4.2).  This MAY include properties the client does not
      recognise (for example, custom properties specified in a vendor
      extension).  Clients MUST ignore any unknown properties in the
      list.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  mayCreateTopLevelMailbox: "Boolean"

      If true, the user may create a Mailbox (see Section 2) in this
      account with a null parentId.  (Permission for creating a child of
      an existing Mailbox is given by the "myRights" property on that
      Mailbox.)

1.3.2.  urn:ietf:params:jmap:submission

   This represents support for the Identity and EmailSubmission data
   types and associated API methods.  The value of this property in the
   JMAP session "capabilities" property is an empty object.

   The value of this property in an account's "accountCapabilities"
   property is an object that MUST contain the following information on
   server capabilities and permissions for that account:

   o  maxDelayedSend: "UnsignedInt"

      The number in seconds of the maximum delay the server supports in
      sending (see the EmailSubmission object description).  This is 0
      if the server does not support delayed send.

   o  submissionExtensions: "String[String[]]"

      The set of SMTP submission extensions supported by the server,
      which the client may use when creating an EmailSubmission object
      (see Section 7).  Each key in the object is the "ehlo-name", and
      the value is a list of "ehlo-args".

      A JMAP implementation that talks to a submission server [RFC6409]
      SHOULD have a configuration setting that allows an administrator
      to modify the set of submission EHLO capabilities it may expose on
      this property.  This allows a JMAP server to easily add access to
      a new submission extension without code changes.  By default, the
      JMAP server should hide EHLO capabilities that have to do with the
      transport mechanism and thus are only relevant to the JMAP server
      (for example, PIPELINING, CHUNKING, or STARTTLS).

      Examples of Submission extensions to include:

      *  FUTURERELEASE [RFC4865]

      *  SIZE [RFC1870]

      *  DSN [RFC3461]

      *  DELIVERYBY [RFC2852]



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      *  MT-PRIORITY [RFC6710]

      A JMAP server MAY advertise an extension and implement the
      semantics of that extension locally on the JMAP server even if a
      submission server used by JMAP doesn't implement it.

      The full IANA registry of submission extensions can be found at
      <https://www.iana.org/assignments/mail-parameters>.

1.3.3.  urn:ietf:params:jmap:vacationresponse

   This represents support for the VacationResponse data type and
   associated API methods.  The value of this property is an empty
   object in both the JMAP session "capabilities" property and an
   account's "accountCapabilities" property.

1.4.  Data Type Support in Different Accounts

   The server MUST include the appropriate capability strings as keys in
   the "accountCapabilities" property of any account with which the user
   may use the data types represented by that URI.  Supported data types
   may differ between accounts the user has access to.  For example, in
   the user's personal account, they may have access to all three sets
   of data, but in a shared account, they may only have data for
   "urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail".  This means they can access
   Mailbox/Thread/Email data in the shared account but are not allowed
   to send as that account (and so do not have access to Identity/
   EmailSubmission objects) or view/set its VacationResponse.

1.5.  Push

   Servers MUST support the JMAP push mechanisms, as specified in
   [RFC8620], Section 7, to receive notifications when the state changes
   for any of the types defined in this specification.

   In addition, servers that implement the "urn:ietf:params:jmap:mail"
   capability MUST support pushing state changes for a type called
   "EmailDelivery".  There are no methods to act on this type; it only
   exists as part of the push mechanism.  The state string for this MUST
   change whenever a new Email is added to the store, but it SHOULD NOT
   change upon any other change to the Email objects, for example, if
   one is marked as read or deleted.

   Clients in battery-constrained environments may wish to delay
   fetching changes initiated by the user but fetch new Emails
   immediately so they can notify the user.  To do this, they can
   register for pushes for the EmailDelivery type rather than the Email
   type (as defined in Section 4).



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


1.5.1.  Example

   The client has registered for push notifications (see [RFC8620]) just
   for the EmailDelivery type.  The user marks an Email as read on
   another device, causing the state string for the Email type to
   change; however, as nothing new was added to the store, the
   EmailDelivery state does not change and nothing is pushed to the
   client.  A new message arrives in the user's inbox, again causing the
   Email state to change.  This time, the EmailDelivery state also
   changes, and a StateChange object is pushed to the client with the
   new state string.  The client may then resync to fetch the new Email
   immediately.

1.6.  Ids

   If a JMAP Mail server also provides an IMAP interface to the data and
   supports IMAP Extension for Object Identifiers [RFC8474], the ids
   SHOULD be the same for Mailbox, Thread, and Email objects in JMAP.

2.  Mailboxes

   A Mailbox represents a named set of Email objects.  This is the
   primary mechanism for organising messages within an account.  It is
   analogous to a folder or a label in other systems.  A Mailbox may
   perform a certain role in the system; see below for more details.

   For compatibility with IMAP, an Email MUST belong to one or more
   Mailboxes.  The Email id does not change if the Email changes
   Mailboxes.

   A *Mailbox* object has the following properties:

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the Mailbox.

   o  name: "String"

      User-visible name for the Mailbox, e.g., "Inbox".  This MUST be a
      Net-Unicode string [RFC5198] of at least 1 character in length,
      subject to the maximum size given in the capability object.  There
      MUST NOT be two sibling Mailboxes with both the same parent and
      the same name.  Servers MAY reject names that violate server
      policy (e.g., names containing a slash (/) or control characters).







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  parentId: "Id|null" (default: null)

      The Mailbox id for the parent of this Mailbox, or null if this
      Mailbox is at the top level.  Mailboxes form acyclic graphs
      (forests) directed by the child-to-parent relationship.  There
      MUST NOT be a loop.

   o  role: "String|null" (default: null)

      Identifies Mailboxes that have a particular common purpose (e.g.,
      the "inbox"), regardless of the "name" property (which may be
      localised).

      This value is shared with IMAP (exposed in IMAP via the SPECIAL-
      USE extension [RFC6154]).  However, unlike in IMAP, a Mailbox MUST
      only have a single role, and there MUST NOT be two Mailboxes in
      the same account with the same role.  Servers providing IMAP
      access to the same data are encouraged to enforce these extra
      restrictions in IMAP as well.  Otherwise, modifying the IMAP
      attributes to ensure compliance when exposing the data over JMAP
      is implementation dependent.

      The value MUST be one of the Mailbox attribute names listed in the
      IANA "IMAP Mailbox Name Attributes" registry at
      <https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap-mailbox-name-attributes/>,
      as established in [RFC8457], converted to lowercase.  New roles
      may be established here in the future.

      An account is not required to have Mailboxes with any particular
      roles.

   o  sortOrder: "UnsignedInt" (default: 0)

      Defines the sort order of Mailboxes when presented in the client's
      UI, so it is consistent between devices.  The number MUST be an
      integer in the range 0 <= sortOrder < 2^31.

      A Mailbox with a lower order should be displayed before a Mailbox
      with a higher order (that has the same parent) in any Mailbox
      listing in the client's UI.  Mailboxes with equal order SHOULD be
      sorted in alphabetical order by name.  The sorting should take
      into account locale-specific character order convention.

   o  totalEmails: "UnsignedInt" (server-set)

      The number of Emails in this Mailbox.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  unreadEmails: "UnsignedInt" (server-set)

      The number of Emails in this Mailbox that have neither the "$seen"
      keyword nor the "$draft" keyword.

   o  totalThreads: "UnsignedInt" (server-set)

      The number of Threads where at least one Email in the Thread is in
      this Mailbox.

   o  unreadThreads: "UnsignedInt" (server-set)

      An indication of the number of "unread" Threads in the Mailbox.

      For compatibility with existing implementations, the way "unread
      Threads" is determined is not mandated in this document.  The
      simplest solution to implement is simply the number of Threads
      where at least one Email in the Thread is both in this Mailbox and
      has neither the "$seen" nor "$draft" keywords.

      However, a quality implementation will return the number of unread
      items the user would see if they opened that Mailbox.  A Thread is
      shown as unread if it contains any unread Emails that will be
      displayed when the Thread is opened.  Therefore, "unreadThreads"
      should be the number of Threads where at least one Email in the
      Thread has neither the "$seen" nor the "$draft" keyword AND at
      least one Email in the Thread is in this Mailbox.  Note that the
      unread Email does not need to be the one in this Mailbox.  In
      addition, the trash Mailbox (that is, a Mailbox whose "role" is
      "trash") requires special treatment:

      1.  Emails that are *only* in the trash (and no other Mailbox) are
          ignored when calculating the "unreadThreads" count of other
          Mailboxes.

      2.  Emails that are *not* in the trash are ignored when
          calculating the "unreadThreads" count for the trash Mailbox.

      The result of this is that Emails in the trash are treated as
      though they are in a separate Thread for the purposes of unread
      counts.  It is expected that clients will hide Emails in the trash
      when viewing a Thread in another Mailbox, and vice versa.  This
      allows you to delete a single Email to the trash out of a Thread.

      For example, suppose you have an account where the entire contents
      is a single Thread with 2 Emails: an unread Email in the trash and
      a read Email in the inbox.  The "unreadThreads" count would be 1
      for the trash and 0 for the inbox.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  myRights: "MailboxRights" (server-set)

      The set of rights (Access Control Lists (ACLs)) the user has in
      relation to this Mailbox.  These are backwards compatible with
      IMAP ACLs, as defined in [RFC4314].  A *MailboxRights* object has
      the following properties:

      *  mayReadItems: "Boolean"

         If true, the user may use this Mailbox as part of a filter in
         an "Email/query" call, and the Mailbox may be included in the
         "mailboxIds" property of Email objects.  Email objects may be
         fetched if they are in *at least one* Mailbox with this
         permission.  If a sub-Mailbox is shared but not the parent
         Mailbox, this may be false.  Corresponds to IMAP ACLs "lr" (if
         mapping from IMAP, both are required for this to be true).

      *  mayAddItems: "Boolean"

         The user may add mail to this Mailbox (by either creating a new
         Email or moving an existing one).  Corresponds to IMAP ACL "i".

      *  mayRemoveItems: "Boolean"

         The user may remove mail from this Mailbox (by either changing
         the Mailboxes of an Email or destroying the Email).
         Corresponds to IMAP ACLs "te" (if mapping from IMAP, both are
         required for this to be true).

      *  maySetSeen: "Boolean"

         The user may add or remove the "$seen" keyword to/from an
         Email.  If an Email belongs to multiple Mailboxes, the user may
         only modify "$seen" if they have this permission for *all* of
         the Mailboxes.  Corresponds to IMAP ACL "s".

      *  maySetKeywords: "Boolean"

         The user may add or remove any keyword other than "$seen" to/
         from an Email.  If an Email belongs to multiple Mailboxes, the
         user may only modify keywords if they have this permission for
         *all* of the Mailboxes.  Corresponds to IMAP ACL "w".

      *  mayCreateChild: "Boolean"

         The user may create a Mailbox with this Mailbox as its parent.
         Corresponds to IMAP ACL "k".




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      *  mayRename: "Boolean"

         The user may rename the Mailbox or make it a child of another
         Mailbox.  Corresponds to IMAP ACL "x" (although this covers
         both rename and delete permissions).

      *  mayDelete: "Boolean"

         The user may delete the Mailbox itself.  Corresponds to IMAP
         ACL "x" (although this covers both rename and delete
         permissions).

      *  maySubmit: "Boolean"

         Messages may be submitted directly to this Mailbox.
         Corresponds to IMAP ACL "p".

   o  isSubscribed: "Boolean"

      Has the user indicated they wish to see this Mailbox in their
      client?  This SHOULD default to false for Mailboxes in shared
      accounts the user has access to and true for any new Mailboxes
      created by the user themself.  This MUST be stored separately per
      user where multiple users have access to a shared Mailbox.

      A user may have permission to access a large number of shared
      accounts, or a shared account with a very large set of Mailboxes,
      but only be interested in the contents of a few of these.  Clients
      may choose to only display Mailboxes where the "isSubscribed"
      property is set to true, and offer a separate UI to allow the user
      to see and subscribe/unsubscribe from the full set of Mailboxes.
      However, clients MAY choose to ignore this property, either
      entirely for ease of implementation or just for an account where
      "isPersonal" is true (indicating it is the user's own rather than
      a shared account).

      This property corresponds to IMAP [RFC3501] mailbox subscriptions.

   For IMAP compatibility, an Email in both the trash and another
   Mailbox SHOULD be treated by the client as existing in both places
   (i.e., when emptying the trash, the client should just remove it from
   the trash Mailbox and leave it in the other Mailbox).

   The following JMAP methods are supported.







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


2.1.  Mailbox/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1.  The "ids" argument may be "null" to fetch all at once.

2.2.  Mailbox/changes

   This is a standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.2 but with one extra argument to the response:

   o  updatedProperties: "String[]|null"

      If only the "totalEmails", "unreadEmails", "totalThreads", and/or
      "unreadThreads" Mailbox properties have changed since the old
      state, this will be the list of properties that may have changed.
      If the server is unable to tell if only counts have changed, it
      MUST just be null.

   Since counts frequently change but other properties are generally
   only changed rarely, the server can help the client optimise data
   transfer by keeping track of changes to Email/Thread counts separate
   from other state changes.  The "updatedProperties" array may be used
   directly via a back-reference in a subsequent "Mailbox/get" call in
   the same request, so only these properties are returned if nothing
   else has changed.

2.3.  Mailbox/query

   This is a standard "/query" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.5 but with the following additional request argument:

   o  sortAsTree: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, when sorting the query results and comparing Mailboxes A
      and B:

      *  If A is an ancestor of B, it always comes first regardless of
         the sort comparators.  Similarly, if A is descendant of B, then
         B always comes first.

      *  Otherwise, if A and B do not share a "parentId", find the
         nearest ancestors of each that do have the same "parentId" and
         compare the sort properties on those Mailboxes instead.

      The result of this is that the Mailboxes are sorted as a tree
      according to the parentId properties, with each set of children
      with a common parent sorted according to the standard sort
      comparators.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  filterAsTree: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, a Mailbox is only included in the query if all its
      ancestors are also included in the query according to the filter.

   A *FilterCondition* object has the following properties, any of which
   may be omitted:

   o  parentId: "Id|null"

      The Mailbox "parentId" property must match the given value
      exactly.

   o  name: "String"

      The Mailbox "name" property contains the given string.

   o  role: "String|null"

      The Mailbox "role" property must match the given value exactly.

   o  hasAnyRole: "Boolean"

      If true, a Mailbox matches if it has any non-null value for its
      "role" property.

   o  isSubscribed: "Boolean"

      The "isSubscribed" property of the Mailbox must be identical to
      the value given to match the condition.

   A Mailbox object matches the FilterCondition if and only if all of
   the given conditions match.  If zero properties are specified, it is
   automatically true for all objects.

   The following Mailbox properties MUST be supported for sorting:

   o  "sortOrder"

   o  "name"

2.4.  Mailbox/queryChanges

   This is a standard "/queryChanges" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.6.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


2.5.  Mailbox/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3 but with the following additional request argument:

   o  onDestroyRemoveEmails: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If false, any attempt to destroy a Mailbox that still has Emails
      in it will be rejected with a "mailboxHasEmail" SetError.  If
      true, any Emails that were in the Mailbox will be removed from it,
      and if in no other Mailboxes, they will be destroyed when the
      Mailbox is destroyed.

   The following extra SetError types are defined:

   For "destroy":

   o  "mailboxHasChild": The Mailbox still has at least one child
      Mailbox.  The client MUST remove these before it can delete the
      parent Mailbox.

   o  "mailboxHasEmail": The Mailbox has at least one Email assigned to
      it, and the "onDestroyRemoveEmails" argument was false.




























RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


2.6.  Example

   Fetching all Mailboxes in an account:

                        [[ "Mailbox/get", {
                          "accountId": "u33084183",
                          "ids": null
                        }, "0" ]]

   And the response:

                      [[ "Mailbox/get", {
                        "accountId": "u33084183",

                          "name": "Inbox",
                          "parentId": null,
                          "role": "inbox",
                          "sortOrder": 10,

                          "myRights": {
                            "mayAddItems": true,
                            "mayRename": false,
                            "maySubmit": true,
                            "mayDelete": false,
                            "maySetKeywords": true,
                            "mayRemoveItems": true,
                            "mayCreateChild": true,

                            "mayReadItems": true
                          },
                          "isSubscribed": true
                        }, {
                          "id": "MB674cc24095db49ce",
                          "name": "Important mail",
                          ...
                        }, ... ],
                        "notFound": []
                      }, "0" ]]

   Now suppose an Email is marked read, and we get a push update that
   the Mailbox state has changed.  You might fetch the updates like
   this:

                     [[ "Mailbox/changes", {
                       "accountId": "u33084183",
                       "sinceState": "78540"
                     }, "0" ],
                     [ "Mailbox/get", {
                       "accountId": "u33084183",
                       "#ids": {
                         "resultOf": "0",
                         "name": "Mailbox/changes",
                         "path": "/created"
                       }
                     }, "1" ],
                     [ "Mailbox/get", {
                       "accountId": "u33084183",
                       "#ids": {
                         "resultOf": "0",
                         "name": "Mailbox/changes",
                         "path": "/updated"
                       },
                       "#properties": {
                         "resultOf": "0",
                         "name": "Mailbox/changes",
                         "path": "/updatedProperties"
                       }
                     }, "2" ]]

   This fetches the list of ids for created/updated/destroyed Mailboxes,
   then using back-references, it fetches the data for just the created/
   updated Mailboxes in the same request.  The response may look
   something like this:

                   [[ "Mailbox/changes", {
                     "accountId": "u33084183",

                       "unreadThreads": 5127
                     }],
                     "notFound": []
                   }, "2" ]]















RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   Here's an example where we try to rename one Mailbox and destroy
   another:

                   [[ "Mailbox/set", {
                     "accountId": "u33084183",
                     "ifInState": "78542",
                     "update": {
                       "MB674cc24095db49ce": {
                         "name": "Maybe important mail"
                       }
                     },
                     "destroy": [ "MB23cfa8094c0f41e6" ]
                   }, "0" ]]

   Suppose the rename succeeds, but we don't have permission to destroy
   the Mailbox we tried to destroy; we might get back:

                     [[ "Mailbox/set", {
                       "accountId": "u33084183",
                       "oldState": "78542",
                       "newState": "78549",
                       "updated": {
                           "MB674cc24095db49ce": null
                       },
                       "notDestroyed": {
                         "MB23cfa8094c0f41e6": {
                           "type": "forbidden"
                         }
                       }
                     }, "0" ]]

3.  Threads

   Replies are grouped together with the original message to form a
   Thread.  In JMAP, a Thread is simply a flat list of Emails, ordered
   by date.  Every Email MUST belong to a Thread, even if it is the only
   Email in the Thread.

   The exact algorithm for determining whether two Emails belong to the
   same Thread is not mandated in this spec to allow for compatibility
   with different existing systems.  For new implementations, it is
   suggested that two messages belong in the same Thread if both of the
   following conditions apply:

   1.  An identical message id [RFC5322] appears in both messages in any
       of the Message-Id, In-Reply-To, and References header fields.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   2.  After stripping automatically added prefixes such as "Fwd:",
       "Re:", "[List-Tag]", etc., and ignoring white space, the subjects
       are the same.  This avoids the situation where a person replies
       to an old message as a convenient way of finding the right
       recipient to send to but changes the subject and starts a new
       conversation.

   If messages are delivered out of order for some reason, a user may
   have two Emails in the same Thread but without headers that associate
   them with each other.  The arrival of a third Email may provide the
   missing references to join them all together into a single Thread.
   Since the "threadId" of an Email is immutable, if the server wishes
   to merge the Threads, it MUST handle this by deleting and reinserting
   (with a new Email id) the Emails that change "threadId".

   A *Thread* object has the following properties:

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)


      The id of the Thread.

   o  emailIds: "Id[]" (server-set)

      The ids of the Emails in the Thread, sorted by the "receivedAt"
      date of the Email, oldest first.  If two Emails have an identical
      date, the sort is server dependent but MUST be stable (sorting by
      id is recommended).

   The following JMAP methods are supported.





















RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019

                   ],
                   "notFound": []
                 }, "#1" ]]

3.2.  Thread/changes

   This is a standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.2.

4.  Emails

   An *Email* object is a representation of a message [RFC5322], which
   allows clients to avoid the complexities of MIME parsing, transfer
   encoding, and character encoding.









RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.1.  Properties of the Email Object

   Broadly, a message consists of two parts: a list of header fields and
   then a body.  The Email data type provides a way to access the full
   structure or to use simplified properties and avoid some complexity
   if this is sufficient for the client application.

   While raw headers can be fetched and set, the vast majority of
   clients should use an appropriate parsed form for each of the header
   fields it wants to process, as this allows it to avoid the
   complexities of various encodings that are required in a valid
   message per RFC 5322.

   The body of a message is normally a MIME-encoded set of documents in
   a tree structure.  This may be arbitrarily nested, but the majority
   of email clients present a flat model of a message body (normally
   plaintext or HTML) with a set of attachments.  Flattening the MIME
   structure to form this model can be difficult and causes
   inconsistency between clients.  Therefore, in addition to the
   "bodyStructure" property, which gives the full tree, the Email object
   contains 3 alternate properties with flat lists of body parts:

   o  "textBody"/"htmlBody": These provide a list of parts that should
      be rendered sequentially as the "body" of the message.  This is a
      list rather than a single part as messages may have headers and/or
      footers appended/prepended as separate parts when they are
      transmitted, and some clients send text and images intended to be
      displayed inline in the body (or even videos and sound clips) as
      multiple parts rather than a single HTML part with referenced
      images.

      Because MIME allows for multiple representations of the same data
      (using "multipart/alternative"), there is a "textBody" property
      (which prefers a plaintext representation) and an "htmlBody"
      property (which prefers an HTML representation) to accommodate the
      two most common client requirements.  The same part may appear in
      both lists where there is no alternative between the two.

   o  "attachments": This provides a list of parts that should be
      presented as "attachments" to the message.  Some images may be
      solely there for embedding within an HTML body part; clients may
      wish to not present these as attachments in the user interface if
      they are displaying the HTML with the embedded images directly.
      Some parts may also be in htmlBody/textBody; again, clients may
      wish to not present these as attachments in the user interface if
      rendered as part of the body.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The "bodyValues" property allows for clients to fetch the value of
   text parts directly without having to do a second request for the
   blob and to have the server handle decoding the charset into unicode.
   This data is in a separate property rather than on the EmailBodyPart
   object to avoid duplication of large amounts of data, as the same
   part may be included twice if the client fetches more than one of
   bodyStructure, textBody, and htmlBody.

   In the following subsections, the common notational convention for
   wildcards has been adopted for content types, so "foo/*" means any
   content type that starts with "foo/".

   Due to the number of properties involved, the set of Email properties
   is specified over the following four subsections.  This is purely for
   readability; all properties are top-level peers.

4.1.1.  Metadata

   These properties represent metadata about the message in the mail
   store and are not derived from parsing the message itself.

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the Email object.  Note that this is the JMAP object id,
      NOT the Message-ID header field value of the message [RFC5322].

   o  blobId: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id representing the raw octets of the message [RFC5322] for
      this Email.  This may be used to download the raw original message
      or to attach it directly to another Email, etc.

   o  threadId: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the Thread to which this Email belongs.

   o  mailboxIds: "Id[Boolean]"

      The set of Mailbox ids this Email belongs to.  An Email in the
      mail store MUST belong to one or more Mailboxes at all times
      (until it is destroyed).  The set is represented as an object,
      with each key being a Mailbox id.  The value for each key in the
      object MUST be true.








RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  keywords: "String[Boolean]" (default: {})

      A set of keywords that apply to the Email.  The set is represented
      as an object, with the keys being the keywords.  The value for
      each key in the object MUST be true.

      Keywords are shared with IMAP.  The six system keywords from IMAP
      get special treatment.  The following four keywords have their
      first character changed from "\" in IMAP to "$" in JMAP and have
      particular semantic meaning:

      *  "$draft": The Email is a draft the user is composing.

      *  "$seen": The Email has been read.

      *  "$flagged": The Email has been flagged for urgent/special
         attention.

      *  "$answered": The Email has been replied to.

      The IMAP "\Recent" keyword is not exposed via JMAP.  The IMAP
      "\Deleted" keyword is also not present: IMAP uses a delete+expunge
      model, which JMAP does not.  Any message with the "\Deleted"
      keyword MUST NOT be visible via JMAP (and so are not counted in
      the "totalEmails", "unreadEmails", "totalThreads", and
      "unreadThreads" Mailbox properties).

      Users may add arbitrary keywords to an Email.  For compatibility
      with IMAP, a keyword is a case-insensitive string of 1-255
      characters in the ASCII subset %x21-%x7e (excludes control chars
      and space), and it MUST NOT include any of these characters:

                              ( ) { ] % * " \

      Because JSON is case sensitive, servers MUST return keywords in
      lowercase.

      The IANA "IMAP and JMAP Keywords" registry at
      <https://www.iana.org/assignments/imap-jmap-keywords/> as
      established in [RFC5788] assigns semantic meaning to some other
      keywords in common use.  New keywords may be established here in
      the future.  In particular, note:

      *  "$forwarded": The Email has been forwarded.

      *  "$phishing": The Email is highly likely to be phishing.
         Clients SHOULD warn users to take care when viewing this Email
         and disable links and attachments.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      *  "$junk": The Email is definitely spam.  Clients SHOULD set this
         flag when users report spam to help train automated spam-
         detection systems.

      *  "$notjunk": The Email is definitely not spam.  Clients SHOULD
         set this flag when users indicate an Email is legitimate, to
         help train automated spam-detection systems.

   o  size: "UnsignedInt" (immutable; server-set)

      The size, in octets, of the raw data for the message [RFC5322] (as
      referenced by the "blobId", i.e., the number of octets in the file
      the user would download).

   o  receivedAt: "UTCDate" (immutable; default: time of creation on
      server)

      The date the Email was received by the message store.  This is the
      "internal date" in IMAP [RFC3501].

4.1.2.  Header Fields Parsed Forms

   Header field properties are derived from the message header fields
   [RFC5322] [RFC6532].  All header fields may be fetched in a raw form.
   Some header fields may also be fetched in a parsed form.  The
   structured form that may be fetched depends on the header.  The forms
   are defined in the subsections that follow.

4.1.2.1.  Raw

   Type: "String"

   The raw octets of the header field value from the first octet
   following the header field name terminating colon, up to but
   excluding the header field terminating CRLF.  Any standards-compliant
   message MUST be either ASCII (RFC 5322) or UTF-8 (RFC 6532); however,
   other encodings exist in the wild.  A server SHOULD replace any octet
   or octet run with the high bit set that violates UTF-8 syntax with
   the unicode replacement character (U+FFFD).  Any NUL octet MUST be
   dropped.

   This form will typically have a leading space, as most generated
   messages insert a space after the colon that terminates the header
   field name.







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.1.2.2.  Text

   Type: "String"

   The header field value with:

   1.  White space unfolded (as defined in [RFC5322], Section 2.2.3).

   2.  The terminating CRLF at the end of the value removed.

   3.  Any SP characters at the beginning of the value removed.

   4.  Any syntactically correct encoded sections [RFC2047] with a known
       character set decoded.  Any NUL octets or control characters
       encoded per [RFC2047] are dropped from the decoded value.  Any
       text that looks like syntax per [RFC2047] but violates placement
       or white space rules per [RFC2047] MUST NOT be decoded.

   5.  The resulting unicode converted to Normalization Form C (NFC)
       form.

   If any decodings fail, the parser SHOULD insert a unicode replacement
   character (U+FFFD) and attempt to continue as much as possible.

   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   following header fields:

   o  Subject

   o  Comments

   o  Keywords

   o  List-Id

   o  Any header field not defined in [RFC5322] or [RFC2369]

4.1.2.3.  Addresses

   Type: "EmailAddress[]"

   The header field is parsed as an "address-list" value, as specified
   in [RFC5322], Section 3.4, into the "EmailAddress[]" type.  There is
   an EmailAddress item for each "mailbox" parsed from the "address-
   list".  Group and comment information is discarded.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   An *EmailAddress* object has the following properties:

   o  name: "String|null"

      The "display-name" of the "mailbox" [RFC5322].  If this is a
      "quoted-string":

      1.  The surrounding DQUOTE characters are removed.

      2.  Any "quoted-pair" is decoded.

      3.  White space is unfolded, and then any leading and trailing
          white space is removed.

      If there is no "display-name" but there is a "comment" immediately
      following the "addr-spec", the value of this SHOULD be used
      instead.  Otherwise, this property is null.

   o  email: "String"

      The "addr-spec" of the "mailbox" [RFC5322].

   Any syntactically correct encoded sections [RFC2047] with a known
   encoding MUST be decoded, following the same rules as for the Text
   form (see Section 4.1.2.2).

   Parsing SHOULD be best effort in the face of invalid structure to
   accommodate invalid messages and semi-complete drafts.  EmailAddress
   objects MAY have an "email" property that does not conform to the
   "addr-spec" form (for example, may not contain an @ symbol).

   For example, the following "address-list" string:

              "  James Smythe" <james@example.com>, Friends:
                jane@example.com, =?UTF-8?Q?John_Sm=C3=AEth?=
                <john@example.com>;

   would be parsed as:

        [
          { "name": "James Smythe", "email": "james@example.com" },
          { "name": null, "email": "jane@example.com" },
          { "name": "John Smith", "email": "john@example.com" }
        ]







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   following header fields:

   o  From

   o  Sender

   o  Reply-To

   o  To

   o  Cc

   o  Bcc

   o  Resent-From

   o  Resent-Sender

   o  Resent-Reply-To

   o  Resent-To

   o  Resent-Cc

   o  Resent-Bcc

   o  Any header field not defined in [RFC5322] or [RFC2369]

4.1.2.4.  GroupedAddresses

   Type: "EmailAddressGroup[]"

   This is similar to the Addresses form but preserves group
   information.  The header field is parsed as an "address-list" value,
   as specified in [RFC5322], Section 3.4, into the "GroupedAddresses[]"
   type.  Consecutive "mailbox" values that are not part of a group are
   still collected under an EmailAddressGroup object to provide a
   uniform type.











RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   An *EmailAddressGroup* object has the following properties:

   o  name: "String|null"

      The "display-name" of the "group" [RFC5322], or null if the
      addresses are not part of a group.  If this is a "quoted-string",
      it is processed the same as the "name" in the EmailAddress type.

   o  addresses: "EmailAddress[]"

      The "mailbox" values that belong to this group, represented as
      EmailAddress objects.

   Any syntactically correct encoded sections [RFC2047] with a known
   encoding MUST be decoded, following the same rules as for the Text
   form (see Section 4.1.2.2).

   Parsing SHOULD be best effort in the face of invalid structure to
   accommodate invalid messages and semi-complete drafts.

   For example, the following "address-list" string:

              "  James Smythe" <james@example.com>, Friends:
                jane@example.com, =?UTF-8?Q?John_Sm=C3=AEth?=
                <john@example.com>;

   would be parsed as:

       [
         { "name": null, "addresses": [
           { "name": "James Smythe", "email": "james@example.com" }
         ]},
         { "name": "Friends", "addresses": [
           { "name": null, "email": "jane@example.com" },
           { "name": "John Smith", "email": "john@example.com" }
         ]}
       ]

   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   same header fields as the Addresses form (see Section 4.1.2.3).










RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.1.2.5.  MessageIds

   Type: "String[]|null"

   The header field is parsed as a list of "msg-id" values, as specified
   in [RFC5322], Section 3.6.4, into the "String[]" type.  Comments and/
   or folding white space (CFWS) and surrounding angle brackets ("<>")
   are removed.  If parsing fails, the value is null.

   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   following header fields:

   o  Message-ID

   o  In-Reply-To

   o  References

   o  Resent-Message-ID

   o  Any header field not defined in [RFC5322] or [RFC2369]

4.1.2.6.  Date

   Type: "Date|null"

   The header field is parsed as a "date-time" value, as specified in
   [RFC5322], Section 3.3, into the "Date" type.  If parsing fails, the
   value is null.

   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   following header fields:

   o  Date

   o  Resent-Date

   o  Any header field not defined in [RFC5322] or [RFC2369]











RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.1.2.7.  URLs

   Type: "String[]|null"

   The header field is parsed as a list of URLs, as described in
   [RFC2369], into the "String[]" type.  Values do not include the
   surrounding angle brackets or any comments in the header field with
   the URLs.  If parsing fails, the value is null.

   To prevent obviously nonsense behaviour, which can lead to
   interoperability issues, this form may only be fetched or set for the
   following header fields:

   o  List-Help

   o  List-Unsubscribe

   o  List-Subscribe

   o  List-Post

   o  List-Owner

   o  List-Archive

   o  Any header field not defined in [RFC5322] or [RFC2369]

4.1.3.  Header Fields Properties

   The following low-level Email property is specified for complete
   access to the header data of the message:

   o  headers: "EmailHeader[]" (immutable)

      This is a list of all header fields [RFC5322], in the same order
      they appear in the message.  An *EmailHeader* object has the
      following properties:

      *  name: "String"

         The header "field name" as defined in [RFC5322], with the same
         capitalization that it has in the message.

      *  value: "String"

         The header "field value" as defined in [RFC5322], in Raw form.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   In addition, the client may request/send properties representing
   individual header fields of the form:

                        header:{header-field-name}

   Where "{header-field-name}" means any series of one or more printable
   ASCII characters (i.e., characters that have values between 33 and
   126, inclusive), except for colon (:).  The property may also have
   the following suffixes:

   o  :as{header-form}

      This means the value is in a parsed form, where "{header-form}" is
      one of the parsed-form names specified above.  If not given, the
      value is in Raw form.

   o  :all

      This means the value is an array, with the items corresponding to
      each instance of the header field, in the order they appear in the
      message.  If this suffix is not used, the result is the value of
      the *last* instance of the header field (i.e., identical to the
      last item in the array if :all is used), or null if none.

   If both suffixes are used, they MUST be specified in the order above.
   Header field names are matched case insensitively.  The value is
   typed according to the requested form or to an array of that type if
   :all is used.  If no header fields exist in the message with the
   requested name, the value is null if fetching a single instance or an
   empty array if requesting :all.

   As a simple example, if the client requests a property called
   "header:subject", this means find the *last* header field in the
   message named "subject" (matched case insensitively) and return the
   value in Raw form, or null if no header field of this name is found.

   For a more complex example, consider the client requesting a property
   called "header:Resent-To:asAddresses:all".  This means:

   1.  Find *all* header fields named Resent-To (matched case
       insensitively).

   2.  For each instance, parse the header field value in the Addresses
       form.

   3.  The result is of type "EmailAddress[][]" -- each item in the
       array corresponds to the parsed value (which is itself an array)
       of the Resent-To header field instance.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The following convenience properties are also specified for the Email
   object:

   o  messageId: "String[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Message-
      ID:asMessageIds".  For messages conforming to RFC 5322, this will
      be an array with a single entry.

   o  inReplyTo: "String[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:In-Reply-
      To:asMessageIds".

   o  references: "String[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of
      "header:References:asMessageIds".

   o  sender: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of
      "header:Sender:asAddresses".

   o  from: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:From:asAddresses".

   o  to: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:To:asAddresses".

   o  cc: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Cc:asAddresses".

   o  bcc: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Bcc:asAddresses".

   o  replyTo: "EmailAddress[]|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Reply-
      To:asAddresses".

   o  subject: "String|null" (immutable)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Subject:asText".



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  sentAt: "Date|null" (immutable; default on creation: current
      server time)

      The value is identical to the value of "header:Date:asDate".

4.1.4.  Body Parts

   These properties are derived from the message body [RFC5322] and its
   MIME entities [RFC2045].

   An *EmailBodyPart* object has the following properties:

   o  partId: "String|null"

      Identifies this part uniquely within the Email.  This is scoped to
      the "emailId" and has no meaning outside of the JMAP Email object
      representation.  This is null if, and only if, the part is of type
      "multipart/*".

   o  blobId: "Id|null"

      The id representing the raw octets of the contents of the part,
      after decoding any known Content-Transfer-Encoding (as defined in
      [RFC2045]), or null if, and only if, the part is of type
      "multipart/*".  Note that two parts may be transfer-encoded
      differently but have the same blob id if their decoded octets are
      identical and the server is using a secure hash of the data for
      the blob id.  If the transfer encoding is unknown, it is treated
      as though it had no transfer encoding.

   o  size: "UnsignedInt"

      The size, in octets, of the raw data after content transfer
      decoding (as referenced by the "blobId", i.e., the number of
      octets in the file the user would download).

   o  headers: "EmailHeader[]"

      This is a list of all header fields in the part, in the order they
      appear in the message.  The values are in Raw form.

   o  name: "String|null"

      This is the decoded "filename" parameter of the Content-
      Disposition header field per [RFC2231], or (for compatibility with
      existing systems) if not present, then it's the decoded "name"
      parameter of the Content-Type header field per [RFC2047].




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  type: "String"

      The value of the Content-Type header field of the part, if
      present; otherwise, the implicit type as per the MIME standard
      ("text/plain" or "message/rfc822" if inside a "multipart/digest").
      CFWS is removed and any parameters are stripped.

   o  charset: "String|null"

      The value of the charset parameter of the Content-Type header
      field, if present, or null if the header field is present but not
      of type "text/*".  If there is no Content-Type header field, or it
      exists and is of type "text/*" but has no charset parameter, this
      is the implicit charset as per the MIME standard: "us-ascii".

   o  disposition: "String|null"

      The value of the Content-Disposition header field of the part, if
      present; otherwise, it's null.  CFWS is removed and any parameters
      are stripped.

   o  cid: "String|null"

      The value of the Content-Id header field of the part, if present;
      otherwise, it's null.  CFWS and surrounding angle brackets ("<>")
      are removed.  This may be used to reference the content from
      within a "text/html" body part [HTML] using the "cid:" protocol,
      as defined in [RFC2392].

   o  language: "String[]|null"

      The list of language tags, as defined in [RFC3282], in the
      Content-Language header field of the part, if present.

   o  location: "String|null"

      The URI, as defined in [RFC2557], in the Content-Location header
      field of the part, if present.

   o  subParts: "EmailBodyPart[]|null"

      If the type is "multipart/*", this contains the body parts of each
      child.

   In addition, the client may request/send EmailBodyPart properties
   representing individual header fields, following the same syntax and
   semantics as for the Email object, e.g., "header:Content-Type".




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The following Email properties are specified for access to the body
   data of the message:

   o  bodyStructure: "EmailBodyPart" (immutable)

      This is the full MIME structure of the message body, without
      recursing into "message/rfc822" or "message/global" parts.  Note
      that EmailBodyParts may have subParts if they are of type
      "multipart/*".

   o  bodyValues: "String[EmailBodyValue]" (immutable)

      This is a map of "partId" to an EmailBodyValue object for none,
      some, or all "text/*" parts.  Which parts are included and whether
      the value is truncated is determined by various arguments to
      "Email/get" and "Email/parse".  An *EmailBodyValue* object has the
      following properties:

      *  value: "String"

         The value of the body part after decoding Content-Transfer-
         Encoding and the Content-Type charset, if both known to the
         server, and with any CRLF replaced with a single LF.  The
         server MAY use heuristics to determine the charset to use for
         decoding if the charset is unknown, no charset is given, or it
         believes the charset given is incorrect.  Decoding is best
         effort; the server SHOULD insert the unicode replacement
         character (U+FFFD) and continue when a malformed section is
         encountered.

         Note that due to the charset decoding and line ending
         normalisation, the length of this string will probably not be
         exactly the same as the "size" property on the corresponding
         EmailBodyPart.

      *  isEncodingProblem: "Boolean" (default: false)

         This is true if malformed sections were found while decoding
         the charset, the charset was unknown, or the content-transfer-
         encoding was unknown.

      *  isTruncated: "Boolean" (default: false)

         This is true if the "value" has been truncated.

      See the Security Considerations section for issues related to
      truncation and heuristic determination of the content-type and
      charset.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  textBody: "EmailBodyPart[]" (immutable)

      A list of "text/plain", "text/html", "image/*", "audio/*", and/or
      "video/*" parts to display (sequentially) as the message body,
      with a preference for "text/plain" when alternative versions are
      available.

   o  htmlBody: "EmailBodyPart[]" (immutable)

      A list of "text/plain", "text/html", "image/*", "audio/*", and/or
      "video/*" parts to display (sequentially) as the message body,
      with a preference for "text/html" when alternative versions are
      available.

   o  attachments: "EmailBodyPart[]" (immutable)

      A list, traversing depth-first, of all parts in "bodyStructure"
      that satisfy either of the following conditions:

      *  not of type "multipart/*" and not included in "textBody" or
         "htmlBody"

      *  of type "image/*", "audio/*", or "video/*" and not in both
         "textBody" and "htmlBody"

      None of these parts include subParts, including "message/*" types.
      Attached messages may be fetched using the "Email/parse" method
      and the "blobId".

      Note that a "text/html" body part [HTML] may reference image parts
      in attachments by using "cid:" links to reference the Content-Id,
      as defined in [RFC2392], or by referencing the Content-Location.

   o  hasAttachment: "Boolean" (immutable; server-set)

      This is true if there are one or more parts in the message that a
      client UI should offer as downloadable.  A server SHOULD set
      hasAttachment to true if the "attachments" list contains at least
      one item that does not have "Content-Disposition: inline".  The
      server MAY ignore parts in this list that are processed
      automatically in some way or are referenced as embedded images in
      one of the "text/html" parts of the message.

      The server MAY set hasAttachment based on implementation-defined
      or site-configurable heuristics.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  preview: "String" (immutable; server-set)

      A plaintext fragment of the message body.  This is intended to be
      shown as a preview line when listing messages in the mail store
      and may be truncated when shown.  The server may choose which part
      of the message to include in the preview; skipping quoted sections
      and salutations and collapsing white space can result in a more
      useful preview.

      This MUST NOT be more than 256 characters in length.

      As this is derived from the message content by the server, and the
      algorithm for doing so could change over time, fetching this for
      an Email a second time MAY return a different result.  However,
      the previous value is not considered incorrect, and the change
      SHOULD NOT cause the Email object to be considered as changed by
      the server.

   The exact algorithm for decomposing bodyStructure into textBody,
   htmlBody, and attachments part lists is not mandated, as this is a
   quality-of-service implementation issue and likely to require
   workarounds for malformed content discovered over time.  However, the
   following algorithm (expressed here in JavaScript) is suggested as a
   starting point, based on real-world experience:

  function isInlineMediaType ( type ) {
    return type.startsWith( 'image/' ) ||
           type.startsWith( 'audio/' ) ||
           type.startsWith( 'video/' );
  }

  function parseStructure ( parts, multipartType, inAlternative,
          htmlBody, textBody, attachments ) {

      // For multipartType == alternative
      let textLength = textBody ? textBody.length : -1;
      let htmlLength = htmlBody ? htmlBody.length : -1;

      for ( let i = 0; i < parts.length; i += 1 ) {
          let part = parts[i];
          let isMultipart = part.type.startsWith( 'multipart/' );
          // Is this a body part rather than an attachment
          let isInline = part.disposition != "attachment" &&
              // Must be one of the allowed body types
              ( part.type == "text/plain" ||
                part.type == "text/html" ||
                isInlineMediaType( part.type ) ) &&




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


              // If multipart/related, only the first part can be inline
              // If a text part with a filename, and not the first item
              // in the multipart, assume it is an attachment
              ( i === 0 ||
                ( multipartType != "related" &&
                  ( isInlineMediaType( part.type ) || !part.name ) ) );

          if ( isMultipart ) {
              let subMultiType = part.type.split( '/' )[1];
              parseStructure( part.subParts, subMultiType,
                  inAlternative || ( subMultiType == 'alternative' ),
                  htmlBody, textBody, attachments );
          } else if ( isInline ) {
              if ( multipartType == 'alternative' ) {
                  switch ( part.type ) {
                  case 'text/plain':
                      textBody.push( part );
                      break;
                  case 'text/html':

                      break;
                  default:
                      attachments.push( part );
                      break;
                  }
                  continue;
              } else if ( inAlternative ) {
                  if ( part.type == 'text/plain' ) {
                      htmlBody = null;
                  }
                  if ( part.type == 'text/html' ) {
                      textBody = null;
                  }
              }
              if ( textBody ) {
                  textBody.push( part );
              }
              if ( htmlBody ) {
                  htmlBody.push( part );
              }
              if ( ( !textBody || !htmlBody ) &&
                      isInlineMediaType( part.type ) ) {
                  attachments.push( part );
              }
          } else {
              attachments.push( part );
          }
      }



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      if ( multipartType == 'alternative' && textBody && htmlBody ) {
          // Found HTML part only
          if ( textLength == textBody.length &&
                  htmlLength != htmlBody.length ) {
              for ( let i = htmlLength; i < htmlBody.length; i += 1 ) {
                  textBody.push( htmlBody[i] );
              }
          }
          // Found plaintext part only
          if ( htmlLength == htmlBody.length &&
                  textLength != textBody.length ) {
              for ( let i = textLength; i < textBody.length; i += 1 ) {
                  htmlBody.push( textBody[i] );
              }
          }
      }
  }

  // Usage:
  let htmlBody = [];
  let textBody = [];
  let attachments = [];

  parseStructure( [ bodyStructure ], 'mixed', false,
      htmlBody, textBody, attachments );

   For instance, consider a message with both text and HTML versions
   that has gone through a list software manager that attaches a header
   and footer.  It might have a MIME structure something like:

            multipart/mixed
              text/plain, content-disposition=inline - A
              multipart/mixed
                multipart/alternative
                  multipart/mixed
                    text/plain, content-disposition=inline - B
                    image/jpeg, content-disposition=inline - C
                    text/plain, content-disposition=inline - D
                  multipart/related
                    text/html - E
                    image/jpeg - F
                image/jpeg, content-disposition=attachment - G
                application/x-excel - H
                message/rfc822 - J
              text/plain, content-disposition=inline - K






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   In this case, the above algorithm would decompose this to:

                     textBody => [ A, B, C, D, K ]
                     htmlBody => [ A, E, K ]
                     attachments => [ C, F, G, H, J ]

4.2.  Email/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1 with the following additional request arguments:

   o  bodyProperties: "String[]"

      A list of properties to fetch for each EmailBodyPart returned.  If
      omitted, this defaults to:

         [ "partId", "blobId", "size", "name", "type", "charset",
           "disposition", "cid", "language", "location" ]

   o  fetchTextBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "textBody" property.

   o  fetchHTMLBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "htmlBody" property.

   o  fetchAllBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "bodyStructure" property.

   o  maxBodyValueBytes: "UnsignedInt" (default: 0)

      If greater than zero, the "value" property of any EmailBodyValue
      object returned in "bodyValues" MUST be truncated if necessary so
      it does not exceed this number of octets in size.  If 0 (the
      default), no truncation occurs.

      The server MUST ensure the truncation results in valid UTF-8 and
      does not occur mid-codepoint.  If the part is of type "text/html",
      the server SHOULD NOT truncate inside an HTML tag, e.g., in the
      middle of "<a href="https://example.com">".  There is no
      requirement for the truncated form to be a balanced tree or valid
      HTML (indeed, the original source may well be neither of these
      things).



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   If the standard "properties" argument is omitted or null, the
   following default MUST be used instead of "all" properties:

 [ "id", "blobId", "threadId", "mailboxIds", "keywords", "size",
 "receivedAt", "messageId", "inReplyTo", "references", "sender", "from",
 "to", "cc", "bcc", "replyTo", "subject", "sentAt", "hasAttachment",
 "preview", "bodyValues", "textBody", "htmlBody", "attachments" ]

   The following properties are expected to be fast to fetch in a

RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   Clients SHOULD take care when fetching any other properties, as there
   may be significantly longer latency in fetching and returning the
   data.

   As specified above, parsed forms of headers may only be used on
   appropriate header fields.  Attempting to fetch a form that is
   forbidden (e.g., "header:From:asDate") MUST result in the method call
   being rejected with an "invalidArguments" error.

   Where a specific header field is requested as a property, the
   capitalization of the property name in the response MUST be identical
   to that used in the request.

4.2.1.  Example

   Request:

      [[ "Email/get", {
        "ids": [ "f123u456", "f123u457" ],
        "properties": [ "threadId", "mailboxIds", "from", "subject",
          "receivedAt", "header:List-POST:asURLs",
          "htmlBody", "bodyValues" ],
        "bodyProperties": [ "partId", "blobId", "size", "type" ],
        "fetchHTMLBodyValues": true,
        "maxBodyValueBytes": 256
      }, "#1" ]]

   and response:

   [[ "Email/get", {
     "accountId": "abc",
     "state": "41234123231",
     "list": [
       {
         "id": "f123u457",
         "threadId": "ef1314a",
         "mailboxIds": { "f123": true },
         "from": [{ "name": "Joe Bloggs", "email": "joe@example.com" }],
         "subject": "Dinner on Thursday?",
         "receivedAt": "2013-10-13T14:12:00Z",
         "header:List-POST:asURLs": [
           "mailto:partytime@lists.example.com"
         ],
         "htmlBody": [{
           "partId": "1",
           "blobId": "B841623871",
           "size": 283331,
           "type": "text/html"



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


         }, {
           "partId": "2",
           "blobId": "B319437193",
           "size": 10343,
           "type": "text/plain"
         }],
         "bodyValues": {
           "1": {
             "isEncodingProblem": false,
             "isTruncated": true,
             "value": "<html><body><p>Hello ..."
           },
           "2": {
             "isEncodingProblem": false,
             "isTruncated": false,
             "value": "-- Sent by your friendly mailing list ..."
           }
         }
       }
     ],
     "notFound": [ "f123u456" ]
   }, "#1" ]]

4.3.  Email/changes

   This is a standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.2.  If generating intermediate states for a large set of
   changes, it is recommended that newer changes be returned first, as
   these are generally of more interest to users.

4.4.  Email/query

   This is a standard "/query" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.5 but with the following additional request arguments:

   o  collapseThreads: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, Emails in the same Thread as a previous Email in the list
      (given the filter and sort order) will be removed from the list.
      This means only one Email at most will be included in the list for
      any given Thread.

   In quality implementations, the query "total" property is expected to
   be fast to calculate when the filter consists solely of a single
   "inMailbox" property, as it is the same as the totalEmails or
   totalThreads properties (depending on whether collapseThreads is
   true) of the associated Mailbox object.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.4.1.  Filtering

   A *FilterCondition* object has the following properties, any of which
   may be omitted:

   o  inMailbox: "Id"

      A Mailbox id.  An Email must be in this Mailbox to match the
      condition.

   o  inMailboxOtherThan: "Id[]"

      A list of Mailbox ids.  An Email must be in at least one Mailbox
      not in this list to match the condition.  This is to allow
      messages solely in trash/spam to be easily excluded from a search.

   o  before: "UTCDate"

      The "receivedAt" date-time of the Email must be before this date-
      time to match the condition.

   o  after: "UTCDate"

      The "receivedAt" date-time of the Email must be the same or after
      this date-time to match the condition.

   o  minSize: "UnsignedInt"

      The "size" property of the Email must be equal to or greater than
      this number to match the condition.

   o  maxSize: "UnsignedInt"

      The "size" property of the Email must be less than this number to
      match the condition.

   o  allInThreadHaveKeyword: "String"

      All Emails (including this one) in the same Thread as this Email
      must have the given keyword to match the condition.

   o  someInThreadHaveKeyword: "String"

      At least one Email (possibly this one) in the same Thread as this
      Email must have the given keyword to match the condition.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  noneInThreadHaveKeyword: "String"

      All Emails (including this one) in the same Thread as this Email
      must *not* have the given keyword to match the condition.

   o  hasKeyword: "String"

      This Email must have the given keyword to match the condition.

   o  notKeyword: "String"

      This Email must not have the given keyword to match the condition.

   o  hasAttachment: "Boolean"

      The "hasAttachment" property of the Email must be identical to the
      value given to match the condition.

   o  text: "String"

      Looks for the text in Emails.  The server MUST look up text in the
      From, To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject header fields of the message and
      SHOULD look inside any "text/*" or other body parts that may be
      converted to text by the server.  The server MAY extend the search
      to any additional textual property.

   o  from: "String"

      Looks for the text in the From header field of the message.

   o  to: "String"

      Looks for the text in the To header field of the message.

   o  cc: "String"

      Looks for the text in the Cc header field of the message.

   o  bcc: "String"

      Looks for the text in the Bcc header field of the message.

   o  subject: "String"

      Looks for the text in the Subject header field of the message.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  body: "String"

      Looks for the text in one of the body parts of the message.  The
      server MAY exclude MIME body parts with content media types other
      than "text/*" and "message/*" from consideration in search
      matching.  Care should be taken to match based on the text content
      actually presented to an end user by viewers for that media type
      or otherwise identified as appropriate for search indexing.
      Matching document metadata uninteresting to an end user (e.g.,
      markup tag and attribute names) is undesirable.

   o  header: "String[]"

      The array MUST contain either one or two elements.  The first
      element is the name of the header field to match against.  The
      second (optional) element is the text to look for in the header
      field value.  If not supplied, the message matches simply if it
      has a header field of the given name.

   If zero properties are specified on the FilterCondition, the
   condition MUST always evaluate to true.  If multiple properties are
   specified, ALL must apply for the condition to be true (it is
   equivalent to splitting the object into one-property conditions and
   making them all the child of an AND filter operator).

   The exact semantics for matching "String" fields is *deliberately not
   defined* to allow for flexibility in indexing implementation, subject
   to the following:

   o  Any syntactically correct encoded sections [RFC2047] of header
      fields with a known encoding SHOULD be decoded before attempting
      to match text.

   o  When searching inside a "text/html" body part, any text considered
      markup rather than content SHOULD be ignored, including HTML tags
      and most attributes, anything inside the "<head>" tag, Cascading
      Style Sheets (CSS), and JavaScript.  Attribute content intended
      for presentation to the user such as "alt" and "title" SHOULD be
      considered in the search.

   o  Text SHOULD be matched in a case-insensitive manner.

   o  Text contained in either (but matched) single (') or double (")
      quotes SHOULD be treated as a *phrase search*; that is, a match is
      required for that exact word or sequence of words, excluding the
      surrounding quotation marks.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      Within a phrase, to match one of the following characters you MUST
      escape it by prefixing it with a backslash (\):

                                    ' " \

   o  Outside of a phrase, white space SHOULD be treated as dividing
      separate tokens that may be searched for separately but MUST all
      be present for the Email to match the filter.

   o  Tokens (not part of a phrase) MAY be matched on a whole-word basis
      using stemming (for example, a text search for "bus" would match
      "buses" but not "business").

4.4.2.  Sorting

   The following value for the "property" field on the Comparator object
   MUST be supported for sorting:

   o  "receivedAt" - The "receivedAt" date as returned in the Email
      object.

   The following values for the "property" field on the Comparator
   object SHOULD be supported for sorting.  When specifying a
   "hasKeyword", "allInThreadHaveKeyword", or "someInThreadHaveKeyword"
   sort, the Comparator object MUST also have a "keyword" property.

   o  "size" - The "size" as returned in the Email object.

   o  "from" - This is taken to be either the "name" property or if
      null/empty, the "email" property of the *first* EmailAddress
      object in the Email's "from" property.  If still none, consider
      the value to be the empty string.

   o  "to" - This is taken to be either the "name" property or if null/
      empty, the "email" property of the *first* EmailAddress object in
      the Email's "to" property.  If still none, consider the value to
      be the empty string.

   o  "subject" - This is taken to be the base subject of the message,
      as defined in Section 2.1 of [RFC5256].

   o  "sentAt" - The "sentAt" property on the Email object.

   o  "hasKeyword" - This value MUST be considered true if the Email has
      the keyword given as an additional "keyword" property on the
      Comparator object, or false otherwise.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  "allInThreadHaveKeyword" - This value MUST be considered true for
      the Email if *all* of the Emails in the same Thread have the
      keyword given as an additional "keyword" property on the
      Comparator object.

   o  "someInThreadHaveKeyword" - This value MUST be considered true for
      the Email if *any* of the Emails in the same Thread have the
      keyword given as an additional "keyword" property on the
      Comparator object.

   The server MAY support sorting based on other properties as well.  A
   client can discover which properties are supported by inspecting the
   account's "capabilities" object (see Section 1.3).

   Example sort:

                 [{
                   "property": "someInThreadHaveKeyword",
                   "keyword": "$flagged",
                   "isAscending": false
                 }, {
                   "property": "subject",
                   "collation": "i;ascii-casemap"
                 }, {
                   "property": "receivedAt",
                   "isAscending": false
                 }]

   This would sort Emails in flagged Threads first (the Thread is
   considered flagged if any Email within it is flagged), in subject
   order second, and then from newest first for messages with the same
   subject.  If two Emails have identical values for all three
   properties, then the order is server dependent but must be stable.

4.4.3.  Thread Collapsing

   When "collapseThreads" is true, then after filtering and sorting the
   Email list, the list is further winnowed by removing any Emails for a
   Thread id that has already been seen (when passing through the list
   sequentially).  A Thread will therefore only appear *once* in the
   result, at the position of the first Email in the list that belongs
   to the Thread (given the current sort/filter).









RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.5.  Email/queryChanges

   This is a standard "/queryChanges" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.6 with the following additional request argument:

   o  collapseThreads: "Boolean" (default: false)

      The "collapseThreads" argument that was used with "Email/query".

4.6.  Email/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3.  The "Email/set" method encompasses:

   o  Creating a draft

   o  Changing the keywords of an Email (e.g., unread/flagged status)

   o  Adding/removing an Email to/from Mailboxes (moving a message)

   o  Deleting Emails

   The format of the "keywords"/"mailboxIds" properties means that when
   updating an Email, you can either replace the entire set of keywords/
   Mailboxes (by setting the full value of the property) or add/remove
   individual ones using the JMAP patch syntax (see [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3 for the specification and Section 5.7 for an example).

   Due to the format of the Email object, when creating an Email, there
   are a number of ways to specify the same information.  To ensure that
   the message [RFC5322] to create is unambiguous, the following
   constraints apply to Email objects submitted for creation:

   o  The "headers" property MUST NOT be given on either the top-level
      Email or an EmailBodyPart -- the client must set each header field
      as an individual property.

   o  There MUST NOT be two properties that represent the same header
      field (e.g., "header:from" and "from") within the Email or
      particular EmailBodyPart.

   o  Header fields MUST NOT be specified in parsed forms that are
      forbidden for that particular field.

   o  Header fields beginning with "Content-" MUST NOT be specified on
      the Email object, only on EmailBodyPart objects.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  If a "bodyStructure" property is given, there MUST NOT be
      "textBody", "htmlBody", or "attachments" properties.

   o  If given, the "bodyStructure" EmailBodyPart MUST NOT contain a
      property representing a header field that is already defined on
      the top-level Email object.

   o  If given, textBody MUST contain exactly one body part and it MUST
      be of type "text/plain".

   o  If given, htmlBody MUST contain exactly one body part and it MUST
      be of type "text/html".

   o  Within an EmailBodyPart:

      *  The client may specify a partId OR a blobId, but not both.  If
         a partId is given, this partId MUST be present in the
         "bodyValues" property.

      *  The "charset" property MUST be omitted if a partId is given
         (the part's content is included in bodyValues, and the server
         may choose any appropriate encoding).

      *  The "size" property MUST be omitted if a partId is given.  If a
         blobId is given, it may be included but is ignored by the
         server (the size is actually calculated from the blob content
         itself).

      *  A Content-Transfer-Encoding header field MUST NOT be given.

   o  Within an EmailBodyValue object, isEncodingProblem and isTruncated
      MUST be either false or omitted.

   Creation attempts that violate any of this SHOULD be rejected with an
   "invalidProperties" error; however, a server MAY choose to modify the
   Email (e.g., choose between conflicting headers, use a different
   content-encoding, etc.) to comply with its requirements instead.

   The server MAY also choose to set additional headers.  If not
   included, the server MUST generate and set a Message-ID header field
   in conformance with [RFC5322], Section 3.6.4 and a Date header field
   in conformance with Section 3.6.1.

   The final message generated may be invalid per RFC 5322.  For
   example, if it is a half-finished draft, the To header field may have
   a value that does not conform to the required syntax for this header.
   The message will be checked for strict conformance when submitted for
   sending (see the EmailSubmission object description).



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   Destroying an Email removes it from all Mailboxes to which it
   belonged.  To just delete an Email to trash, simply change the
   "mailboxIds" property, so it is now in the Mailbox with a "role"
   property equal to "trash", and remove all other Mailbox ids.

   When emptying the trash, clients SHOULD NOT destroy Emails that are
   also in a Mailbox other than trash.  For those Emails, they SHOULD
   just remove the trash Mailbox from the Email.

   For successfully created Email objects, the "created" response
   contains the "id", "blobId", "threadId", and "size" properties of the
   object.

   The following extra SetError types are defined:

   For "create":

   o  "blobNotFound": At least one blob id given for an EmailBodyPart
      doesn't exist.  An extra "notFound" property of type "Id[]" MUST
      be included in the SetError object containing every "blobId"
      referenced by an EmailBodyPart that could not be found on the
      server.

   For "create" and "update":

   o  "tooManyKeywords": The change to the Email's keywords would exceed
      a server-defined maximum.

   o  "tooManyMailboxes": The change to the set of Mailboxes that this
      Email is in would exceed a server-defined maximum.

4.7.  Email/copy

   This is a standard "/copy" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.4, except only the "mailboxIds", "keywords", and
   "receivedAt" properties may be set during the copy.  This method
   cannot modify the message represented by the Email.

   The server MAY forbid two Email objects with identical message
   content [RFC5322], or even just with the same Message-ID [RFC5322],
   to coexist within an account; if the target account already has the
   Email, the copy will be rejected with a standard "alreadyExists"
   error.

   For successfully copied Email objects, the "created" response
   contains the "id", "blobId", "threadId", and "size" properties of the
   new object.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


4.8.  Email/import

   The "Email/import" method adds messages [RFC5322] to the set of
   Emails in an account.  The server MUST support messages with Email
   Address Internationalization (EAI) headers [RFC6532].  The messages
   must first be uploaded as blobs using the standard upload mechanism.
   The method takes the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account to use.

   o  ifInState: "String|null"

      This is a state string as returned by the "Email/get" method.  If
      supplied, the string must match the current state of the account
      referenced by the accountId; otherwise, the method will be aborted
      and a "stateMismatch" error returned.  If null, any changes will
      be applied to the current state.

   o  emails: "Id[EmailImport]"

      A map of creation id (client specified) to EmailImport objects.

   An *EmailImport* object has the following properties:

   o  blobId: "Id"

      The id of the blob containing the raw message [RFC5322].

   o  mailboxIds: "Id[Boolean]"

      The ids of the Mailboxes to assign this Email to.  At least one
      Mailbox MUST be given.

   o  keywords: "String[Boolean]" (default: {})

      The keywords to apply to the Email.

   o  receivedAt: "UTCDate" (default: time of most recent Received
      header, or time of import on server if none)

      The "receivedAt" date to set on the Email.

   Each Email to import is considered an atomic unit that may succeed or
   fail individually.  Importing successfully creates a new Email object
   from the data referenced by the blobId and applies the given
   Mailboxes, keywords, and receivedAt date.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The server MAY forbid two Email objects with the same exact content
   [RFC5322], or even just with the same Message-ID [RFC5322], to
   coexist within an account.  In this case, it MUST reject attempts to
   import an Email considered to be a duplicate with an "alreadyExists"
   SetError.  An "existingId" property of type "Id" MUST be included on
   the SetError object with the id of the existing Email.  If duplicates
   are allowed, the newly created Email object MUST have a separate id
   and independent mutable properties to the existing object.

   If the "blobId", "mailboxIds", or "keywords" properties are invalid
   (e.g., missing, wrong type, id not found), the server MUST reject the
   import with an "invalidProperties" SetError.

   If the Email cannot be imported because it would take the account
   over quota, the import should be rejected with an "overQuota"
   SetError.

   If the blob referenced is not a valid message [RFC5322], the server
   MAY modify the message to fix errors (such as removing NUL octets or
   fixing invalid headers).  If it does this, the "blobId" on the
   response MUST represent the new representation and therefore be
   different to the "blobId" on the EmailImport object.  Alternatively,
   the server MAY reject the import with an "invalidEmail" SetError.

   The response has the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account used for this call.

   o  oldState: "String|null"

      The state string that would have been returned by "Email/get" on
      this account before making the requested changes, or null if the
      server doesn't know what the previous state string was.

   o  newState: "String"

      The state string that will now be returned by "Email/get" on this
      account.

   o  created: "Id[Email]|null"

      A map of the creation id to an object containing the "id",
      "blobId", "threadId", and "size" properties for each successfully
      imported Email, or null if none.

   o  notCreated: "Id[SetError]|null"

      A map of the creation id to a SetError object for each Email that
      failed to be created, or null if all successful.  The possible
      errors are defined above.

   The following additional errors may be returned instead of the
   "Email/import" response:

   "stateMismatch": An "ifInState" argument was supplied, and it does
   not match the current state.

4.9.  Email/parse

   This method allows you to parse blobs as messages [RFC5322] to get
   Email objects.  The server MUST support messages with EAI headers
   [RFC6532].  This can be used to parse and display attached messages
   without having to import them as top-level Email objects in the mail
   store in their own right.

   The following metadata properties on the Email objects will be null
   if requested:

   o  id

   o  mailboxIds

   o  keywords

   o  receivedAt

   The "threadId" property of the Email MAY be present if the server can
   calculate which Thread the Email would be assigned to were it to be
   imported.  Otherwise, this too is null if fetched.

   The "Email/parse" method takes the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account to use.

   o  blobIds: "Id[]"

      The ids of the blobs to parse.

   o  properties: "String[]"

      If supplied, only the properties listed in the array are returned
      for each Email object.  If omitted, defaults to:

      [ "messageId", "inReplyTo", "references", "sender", "from", "to",
      "cc", "bcc", "replyTo", "subject", "sentAt", "hasAttachment",
      "preview", "bodyValues", "textBody", "htmlBody", "attachments" ]

   o  bodyProperties: "String[]"

      A list of properties to fetch for each EmailBodyPart returned.  If
      omitted, defaults to the same value as the "Email/get"
      "bodyProperties" default argument.

   o  fetchTextBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "textBody" property.

   o  fetchHTMLBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "htmlBody" property.

   o  fetchAllBodyValues: "Boolean" (default: false)

      If true, the "bodyValues" property includes any "text/*" part in
      the "bodyStructure" property.

   o  maxBodyValueBytes: "UnsignedInt" (default: 0)

      If greater than zero, the "value" property of any EmailBodyValue
      object returned in "bodyValues" MUST be truncated if necessary so
      it does not exceed this number of octets in size.  If 0 (the
      default), no truncation occurs.

      The server MUST ensure the truncation results in valid UTF-8 and
      does not occur mid-codepoint.  If the part is of type "text/html",
      the server SHOULD NOT truncate inside an HTML tag, e.g., in the
      middle of "<a href="https://example.com">".  There is no
      requirement for the truncated form to be a balanced tree or valid
      HTML (indeed, the original source may well be neither of these
      things).







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The response has the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account used for the call.

   o  parsed: "Id[Email]|null"

      A map of blob id to parsed Email representation for each
      successfully parsed blob, or null if none.

   o  notParsable: "Id[]|null"

      A list of ids given that corresponded to blobs that could not be
      parsed as Emails, or null if none.

   o  notFound: "Id[]|null"

      A list of blob ids given that could not be found, or null if none.

   As specified above, parsed forms of headers may only be used on
   appropriate header fields.  Attempting to fetch a form that is
   forbidden (e.g., "header:From:asDate") MUST result in the method call
   being rejected with an "invalidArguments" error.

   Where a specific header field is requested as a property, the
   capitalization of the property name in the response MUST be identical
   to that used in the request.

4.10.  Examples

   A client logs in for the first time.  It first fetches the set of
   Mailboxes.  Now it will display the inbox to the user, which we will
   presume has Mailbox id "fb666a55".  The inbox may be (very!) large,
   but the user's screen is only so big, so the client can just load the
   Threads it needs to fill the screen and then load in more only when
   the user scrolls.  The client sends this request:

                      [[ "Email/query",{
                        "accountId": "ue150411c",
                        "filter": {
                          "inMailbox": "fb666a55"
                        },
                        "sort": [{
                          "isAscending": false,
                          "property": "receivedAt"
                        }],

   Let's break down the 4 method calls to see what they're doing:

   "0": This asks the server for the ids of the first 30 Email objects
   in the inbox, sorted newest first, ignoring Emails from the same
   Thread as a newer Email in the Mailbox (i.e., it is the first 30
   unique Threads).

   "1": Now we use a back-reference to fetch the Thread ids for each of
   these Email ids.

   "2": Another back-reference fetches the Thread object for each of
   these Thread ids.

   "3": Finally, we fetch the information we need to display the Mailbox
   listing (but no more!) for every Email in each of these 30 Threads.
   The client may aggregate this data for display, for example, by
   showing the Thread as "flagged" if any of the Emails in it has the
   "$flagged" keyword.

   The response from the server may look something like this:

    [[ "Email/query", {

   Now, on another device, the user marks the first Email as unread,
   sending this API request:

                    [[ "Email/set", {
                      "accountId": "ue150411c",

                      }
                    }, "0" ]]

   The server applies this and sends the success response:

                     ...
                   }, "0" ]]

   The user also deletes a few Emails, and then a new message arrives.

   Back on our original machine, we receive a push update that the state
   string for Email is now "780800".  As this does not match the
   client's current state, it issues a request for the changes:

   The client can update its local cache of the query results by
   removing "M9bd17497e2a99cb345fc1d0a" and then splicing in
   "Me8de6c9f6de198239b982ea2" at position 0.  As it does not have the
   data for this new Email, it will then fetch it (it also could have
   done this in the same request using back-references).

   It knows something has changed about "Ma783e5cdf5f2deffbc97930a", so
   it will refetch the Mailbox ids and keywords (the only mutable
   properties) for this Email too.

   The user starts composing a new Email.  The email is plaintext and
   the client knows the email in English so adds this metadata to the
   body part.  The user saves a draft while the composition is still in
   progress.  The client sends:

   The user adds a recipient and converts the message to HTML so they
   can add formatting, then saves an updated draft:

 [[ "Email/set", {

     "k1546": {

   The server creates the new draft, deletes the old one, and sends the
   success response:

       [[ "Email/set", {
         "accountId": "ue150411c",
         "oldState": "780839",
         "newState": "780842",
         "created": {
           "k1546": {
             "id": "Md45b47b4877521042cec0938",
             "blobId": "Ge8de6c9f6de198239b982ea214e0f3a704e4af74",
             "threadId": "Td957e72e89f516dc",
             "size": 11721
           }
         },
         "destroyed": [ "Mf40b5f831efa7233b9eb1c7f" ],
         ...
       }, "0" ]]

   The client moves this draft to a different account.  The only way to
   do this is via the "Email/copy" method.  It MUST set a new
   "mailboxIds" property, since the current value will not be valid
   Mailbox ids in the destination account:

                 [[ "Email/copy", {
                   "fromAccountId": "ue150411c",
                   "accountId": "u6c6c41ac",
                   "create": {
                     "k45": {
                       "id": "Md45b47b4877521042cec0938",
                       "mailboxIds": {
                         "75a4c956": true
                       }
                     }
                   },
                   "onSuccessDestroyOriginal": true
                 }, "0" ]]














RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The server successfully copies the Email and deletes the original.
   Due to the implicit call to "Email/set", there are two responses to
   the single method call, both with the same method call id:

       [[ "Email/copy", {
         "fromAccountId": "ue150411c",
         "accountId": "u6c6c41ac",
         "oldState": "7ee7e9263a6d",
         "newState": "5a0d2447ed26",
         "created": {
           "k45": {
             "id": "M138f9954a5cd2423daeafa55",
             "blobId": "G6b9fb047cba722c48c611e79233d057c6b0b74e8",
             "threadId": "T2f242ea424a4079a",
             "size": 11721
           }
         },
         "notCreated": null
       }, "0" ],
       [ "Email/set", {
         "accountId": "ue150411c",
         "oldState": "780842",
         "newState": "780871",
         "destroyed": [ "Md45b47b4877521042cec0938" ],
         ...
       }, "0" ]]

5.  Search Snippets

   When doing a search on a "String" property, the client may wish to
   show the relevant section of the body that matches the search as a
   preview and to highlight any matching terms in both this and the
   subject of the Email.  Search snippets represent this data.

   A *SearchSnippet* object has the following properties:

   o  emailId: "Id"

      The Email id the snippet applies to.












RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  subject: "String|null"

      If text from the filter matches the subject, this is the subject
      of the Email with the following transformations:

      1.  Any instance of the following three characters MUST be
          replaced by an appropriate HTML entity: & (ampersand), <
          (less-than sign), and > (greater-than sign) [HTML].  Other
          characters MAY also be replaced with an HTML entity form.

      2.  The matching words/phrases from the filter are wrapped in HTML
          "<mark></mark>" tags.

      If the subject does not match text from the filter, this property
      is null.

   o  preview: "String|null"

      If text from the filter matches the plaintext or HTML body, this
      is the relevant section of the body (converted to plaintext if
      originally HTML), with the same transformations as the "subject"
      property.  It MUST NOT be bigger than 255 octets in size.  If the
      body does not contain a match for the text from the filter, this
      property is null.

   What is a relevant section of the body for preview is server defined.
   If the server is unable to determine search snippets, it MUST return
   null for both the "subject" and "preview" properties.

   Note that unlike most data types, a SearchSnippet DOES NOT have a
   property called "id".

   The following JMAP method is supported.

5.1.  SearchSnippet/get

   To fetch search snippets, make a call to "SearchSnippet/get".  It
   takes the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account to use.

   o  filter: "FilterOperator|FilterCondition|null"

      The same filter as passed to "Email/query"; see the description of
      this method in Section 4.4 for details.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  emailIds: "Id[]"

      The ids of the Emails to fetch snippets for.

   The response has the following arguments:

   o  accountId: "Id"

      The id of the account used for the call.

   o  list: "SearchSnippet[]"

      An array of SearchSnippet objects for the requested Email ids.
      This may not be in the same order as the ids that were in the
      request.

   o  notFound: "Id[]|null"

      An array of Email ids requested that could not be found, or null
      if all ids were found.

   As the search snippets are derived from the message content and the
   algorithm for doing so could change over time, fetching the same
   snippets a second time MAY return a different result.  However, the
   previous value is not considered incorrect, so there is no state
   string or update mechanism needed.

   The following additional errors may be returned instead of the
   "SearchSnippet/get" response:

   "requestTooLarge": The number of "emailIds" requested by the client
   exceeds the maximum number the server is willing to process in a
   single method call.

   "unsupportedFilter": The server is unable to process the given
   "filter" for any reason.

5.2.  Example

   Here, we did an "Email/query" to search for any Email in the account
   containing the word "foo"; now, we are fetching the search snippets
   for some of the ids that were returned in the results:

                     [[ "SearchSnippet/get", {
                       "accountId": "ue150411c",
                       "filter": {
                         "text": "foo"
                       },
                       "emailIds": [
                         "M44200ec123de277c0c1ce69c",
                         "M7bcbcb0b58d7729686e83d99",
                         "M28d12783a0969584b6deaac0",
                         ...
                       ]
                     }, "0" ]]

   Example response:

   [[ "SearchSnippet/get", {
     "accountId": "ue150411c",
     "list": [{
         "emailId": "M44200ec123de277c0c1ce69c",
         "subject": null,
         "preview": null
     }, {
         "emailId": "M7bcbcb0b58d7729686e83d99",
         "subject": "The <mark>Foo</mark>sball competition",
         "preview": "...year the <mark>foo</mark>sball competition will
           be held in the Stadium de ..."
     }, {
         "emailId": "M28d12783a0969584b6deaac0",
         "subject": null,
         "preview": "...the <mark>Foo</mark>/bar method results often
           returns &lt;1 widget rather than the complete..."
     },
     ...
     ],
     "notFound": null
   }, "0" ]]

6.  Identities

   An *Identity* object stores information about an email address or
   domain the user may send from.  It has the following properties:

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the Identity.

   o  name: "String" (default: "")

      The "From" name the client SHOULD use when creating a new Email
      from this Identity.

   o  email: "String" (immutable)

      The "From" email address the client MUST use when creating a new
      Email from this Identity.  If the "mailbox" part of the address
      (the section before the "@") is the single character "*" (e.g.,
      "*@example.com"), the client may use any valid address ending in
      that domain (e.g., "foo@example.com").

   o  replyTo: "EmailAddress[]|null" (default: null)

      The Reply-To value the client SHOULD set when creating a new Email
      from this Identity.

   o  bcc: "EmailAddress[]|null" (default: null)

      The Bcc value the client SHOULD set when creating a new Email from
      this Identity.

   o  textSignature: "String" (default: "")

      A signature the client SHOULD insert into new plaintext messages
      that will be sent from this Identity.  Clients MAY ignore this
      and/or combine this with a client-specific signature preference.

   o  htmlSignature: "String" (default: "")

      A signature the client SHOULD insert into new HTML messages that
      will be sent from this Identity.  This text MUST be an HTML
      snippet to be inserted into the "<body></body>" section of the
      HTML.  Clients MAY ignore this and/or combine this with a client-
      specific signature preference.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  mayDelete: "Boolean" (server-set)

      Is the user allowed to delete this Identity?  Servers may wish to
      set this to false for the user's username or other default
      address.  Attempts to destroy an Identity with "mayDelete: false"
      will be rejected with a standard "forbidden" SetError.

   See the "Addresses" header form description in the Email object
   (Section 4.1.2.3) for the definition of EmailAddress.

   Multiple identities with the same email address MAY exist, to allow
   for different settings the user wants to pick between (for example,
   with different names/signatures).

   The following JMAP methods are supported.

6.1.  Identity/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1.  The "ids" argument may be null to fetch all at once.

6.2.  Identity/changes

   This is a standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.2.

6.3.  Identity/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3.  The following extra SetError types are defined:

   For "create":

   o  "forbiddenFrom": The user is not allowed to send from the address
      given as the "email" property of the Identity.

6.4.  Example

   Request:

                           [ "Identity/get", {
                             "accountId": "acme"
                           }, "0" ]

          ],
          "notFound": []
        }, "0" ]

7.  Email Submission

   An *EmailSubmission* object represents the submission of an Email for
   delivery to one or more recipients.  It has the following properties:

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the EmailSubmission.

   o  identityId: "Id" (immutable)

      The id of the Identity to associate with this submission.





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  emailId: "Id" (immutable)

      The id of the Email to send.  The Email being sent does not have
      to be a draft, for example, when "redirecting" an existing Email
      to a different address.

   o  threadId: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The Thread id of the Email to send.  This is set by the server to
      the "threadId" property of the Email referenced by the "emailId".

   o  envelope: "Envelope|null" (immutable)

      Information for use when sending via SMTP.  An *Envelope* object
      has the following properties:

      *  mailFrom: "Address"

         The email address to use as the return address in the SMTP
         submission, plus any parameters to pass with the MAIL FROM
         address.  The JMAP server MAY allow the address to be the empty
         string.

         When a JMAP server performs an SMTP message submission, it MAY
         use the same id string for the ENVID parameter [RFC3461] and
         the EmailSubmission object id.  Servers that do this MAY
         replace a client-provided value for ENVID with a server-
         provided value.

      *  rcptTo: "Address[]"

         The email addresses to send the message to, and any RCPT TO
         parameters to pass with the recipient.

      An *Address* object has the following properties:

      *  email: "String"

         The email address being represented by the object.  This is a
         "Mailbox" as used in the Reverse-path or Forward-path of the
         MAIL FROM or RCPT TO command in [RFC5321].

      *  parameters: "Object|null"

         Any parameters to send with the email address (either mail-
         parameter or rcpt-parameter as appropriate, as specified in
         [RFC5321]).  If supplied, each key in the object is a parameter
         name, and the value is either the parameter value (type



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


         "String") or null if the parameter does not take a value.  For
         both name and value, any xtext or unitext encodings are removed
         (see [RFC3461] and [RFC6533]) and JSON string encoding is
         applied.

      If the "envelope" property is null or omitted on creation, the
      server MUST generate this from the referenced Email as follows:

      *  "mailFrom": The email address in the Sender header field, if
         present; otherwise, it's the email address in the From header
         field, if present.  In either case, no parameters are added.

         If multiple addresses are present in one of these header
         fields, or there is more than one Sender/From header field, the
         server SHOULD reject the EmailSubmission as invalid; otherwise,
         it MUST take the first address in the last Sender/From header
         field.

         If the address found from this is not allowed by the Identity
         associated with this submission, the "email" property from the
         Identity MUST be used instead.

      *  "rcptTo": The deduplicated set of email addresses from the To,
         Cc, and Bcc header fields, if present, with no parameters for
         any of them.

   o  sendAt: "UTCDate" (immutable; server-set)

      The date the submission was/will be released for delivery.  If the
      client successfully used FUTURERELEASE [RFC4865] with the
      submission, this MUST be the time when the server will release the
      message; otherwise, it MUST be the time the EmailSubmission was
      created.

   o  undoStatus: "String"

      This represents whether the submission may be canceled.  This is
      server set on create and MUST be one of the following values:

      *  "pending": It may be possible to cancel this submission.

      *  "final": The message has been relayed to at least one recipient
         in a manner that cannot be recalled.  It is no longer possible
         to cancel this submission.

      *  "canceled": The submission was canceled and will not be
         delivered to any recipient.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


      On systems that do not support unsending, the value of this
      property will always be "final".  On systems that do support
      canceling submission, it will start as "pending" and MAY
      transition to "final" when the server knows it definitely cannot
      recall the message, but it MAY just remain "pending".  If in
      pending state, a client can attempt to cancel the submission by
      setting this property to "canceled"; if the update succeeds, the
      submission was successfully canceled, and the message has not been
      delivered to any of the original recipients.

   o  deliveryStatus: "String[DeliveryStatus]|null" (server-set)

      This represents the delivery status for each of the submission's
      recipients, if known.  This property MAY not be supported by all
      servers, in which case it will remain null.  Servers that support
      it SHOULD update the EmailSubmission object each time the status
      of any of the recipients changes, even if some recipients are
      still being retried.

      This value is a map from the email address of each recipient to a
      DeliveryStatus object.

      A *DeliveryStatus* object has the following properties:

      *  smtpReply: "String"

         The SMTP reply string returned for this recipient when the
         server last tried to relay the message, or in a later Delivery
         Status Notification (DSN, as defined in [RFC3464]) response for
         the message.  This SHOULD be the response to the RCPT TO stage,
         unless this was accepted and the message as a whole was
         rejected at the end of the DATA stage, in which case the DATA
         stage reply SHOULD be used instead.

         Multi-line SMTP responses should be concatenated to a single
         string as follows:

         +  The hyphen following the SMTP code on all but the last line
            is replaced with a space.

         +  Any prefix in common with the first line is stripped from
            lines after the first.

         +  CRLF is replaced by a space.







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


         For example:

          550-5.7.1 Our system has detected that this message is
          550 5.7.1 likely spam.

         would become:

    550 5.7.1 Our system has detected that this message is likely spam.

         For messages relayed via an alternative to SMTP, the server MAY
         generate a synthetic string representing the status instead.
         If it does this, the string MUST be of the following form:

         +  A 3-digit SMTP reply code, as defined in [RFC5321],
            Section 4.2.3.

         +  Then a single space character.

         +  Then an SMTP Enhanced Mail System Status Code as defined in
            [RFC3463], with a registry defined in [RFC5248].

         +  Then a single space character.

         +  Then an implementation-specific information string with a
            human-readable explanation of the response.

      *  delivered: "String"

         Represents whether the message has been successfully delivered
         to the recipient.  This MUST be one of the following values:

         +  "queued": The message is in a local mail queue and the
            status will change once it exits the local mail queues.  The
            "smtpReply" property may still change.

         +  "yes": The message was successfully delivered to the mail
            store of the recipient.  The "smtpReply" property is final.

         +  "no": Delivery to the recipient permanently failed.  The
            "smtpReply" property is final.

         +  "unknown": The final delivery status is unknown, (e.g., it
            was relayed to an external machine and no further
            information is available).  The "smtpReply" property may
            still change if a DSN arrives.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


         Note that successful relaying to an external SMTP server SHOULD
         NOT be taken as an indication that the message has successfully
         reached the final mail store.  In this case though, the server
         may receive a DSN response, if requested.

         If a DSN is received for the recipient with Action equal to
         "delivered", as per [RFC3464], Section 2.3.3, then the
         "delivered" property SHOULD be set to "yes"; if the Action
         equals "failed", the property SHOULD be set to "no".  Receipt
         of any other DSN SHOULD NOT affect this property.

         The server MAY also set this property based on other feedback
         channels.

      *  displayed: "String"

         Represents whether the message has been displayed to the
         recipient.  This MUST be one of the following values:

         +  "unknown": The display status is unknown.  This is the
            initial value.

         +  "yes": The recipient's system claims the message content has
            been displayed to the recipient.  Note that there is no
            guarantee that the recipient has noticed, read, or
            understood the content.

         If a Message Disposition Notification (MDN) is received for
         this recipient with Disposition-Type (as per [RFC8098],
         Section 3.2.6.2) equal to "displayed", this property SHOULD be
         set to "yes".

         The server MAY also set this property based on other feedback
         channels.

   o  dsnBlobIds: "Id[]" (server-set)

      A list of blob ids for DSNs [RFC3464] received for this
      submission, in order of receipt, oldest first.  The blob is the
      whole MIME message (with a top-level content-type of "multipart/
      report"), as received.

   o  mdnBlobIds: "Id[]" (server-set)

      A list of blob ids for MDNs [RFC8098] received for this
      submission, in order of receipt, oldest first.  The blob is the
      whole MIME message (with a top-level content-type of "multipart/
      report"), as received.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   JMAP servers MAY choose not to expose DSN and MDN responses as Email
   objects if they correlate to an EmailSubmission object.  It SHOULD
   only do this if it exposes them in the "dsnBlobIds" and "mdnblobIds"
   fields instead, and it expects the user to be using clients capable
   of fetching and displaying delivery status via the EmailSubmission
   object.

   For efficiency, a server MAY destroy EmailSubmission objects at any
   time after the message is successfully sent or after it has finished
   retrying to send the message.  For very basic SMTP proxies, this MAY
   be immediately after creation, as it has no way to assign a real id
   and return the information again if fetched later.

   The following JMAP methods are supported.

7.1.  EmailSubmission/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1.

7.2.  EmailSubmission/changes

   This is a standard "/changes" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.2.

7.3.  EmailSubmission/query

   This is a standard "/query" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.5.

   A *FilterCondition* object has the following properties, any of which
   may be omitted:

   o  identityIds: "Id[]"

      The EmailSubmission "identityId" property must be in this list to
      match the condition.

   o  emailIds: "Id[]"

      The EmailSubmission "emailId" property must be in this list to
      match the condition.

   o  threadIds: "Id[]"

      The EmailSubmission "threadId" property must be in this list to
      match the condition.




RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  undoStatus: "String"

      The EmailSubmission "undoStatus" property must be identical to the
      value given to match the condition.

   o  before: "UTCDate"

      The "sendAt" property of the EmailSubmission object must be before
      this date-time to match the condition.

   o  after: "UTCDate"

      The "sendAt" property of the EmailSubmission object must be the
      same as or after this date-time to match the condition.

   An EmailSubmission object matches the FilterCondition if and only if
   all of the given conditions match.  If zero properties are specified,
   it is automatically true for all objects.

   The following EmailSubmission properties MUST be supported for
   sorting:

   o  "emailId"

   o  "threadId"

   o  "sentAt"

7.4.  EmailSubmission/queryChanges

   This is a standard "/queryChanges" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.6.

7.5.  EmailSubmission/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3 with the following two additional request arguments:

   o  onSuccessUpdateEmail: "Id[PatchObject]|null"

      A map of EmailSubmission id to an object containing properties to
      update on the Email object referenced by the EmailSubmission if
      the create/update/destroy succeeds.  (For references to
      EmailSubmissions created in the same "/set" invocation, this is
      equivalent to a creation-reference, so the id will be the creation
      id prefixed with a "#".)





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  onSuccessDestroyEmail: "Id[]|null"

      A list of EmailSubmission ids for which the Email with the
      corresponding "emailId" should be destroyed if the create/update/
      destroy succeeds.  (For references to EmailSubmission creations,
      this is equivalent to a creation-reference, so the id will be the
      creation id prefixed with a "#".)

   After all create/update/destroy items in the "EmailSubmission/set"
   invocation have been processed, a single implicit "Email/set" call
   MUST be made to perform any changes requested in these two arguments.
   The response to this MUST be returned after the "EmailSubmission/set"
   response.

   An Email is sent by creating an EmailSubmission object.  When
   processing each create, the server must check that the message is
   valid, and the user has sufficient authorisation to send it.  If the
   creation succeeds, the message will be sent to the recipients given
   in the envelope "rcptTo" parameter.  The server MUST remove any Bcc
   header field present on the message during delivery.  The server MAY
   add or remove other header fields from the submitted message or make
   further alterations in accordance with the server's policy during
   delivery.

   If the referenced Email is destroyed at any point after the
   EmailSubmission object is created, this MUST NOT change the behaviour
   of the submission (i.e., it does not cancel a future send).  The
   "emailId" and "threadId" properties of the EmailSubmission object
   remain, but trying to fetch them (with a standard "Email/get" call)
   will return a "notFound" error if the corresponding objects have been
   destroyed.

   Similarly, destroying an EmailSubmission object MUST NOT affect the
   deliveries it represents.  It purely removes the record of the
   submission.  The server MAY automatically destroy EmailSubmission
   objects after some time or in response to other triggers, and MAY
   forbid the client from manually destroying EmailSubmission objects.

   If the message to be sent is larger than the server supports sending,
   a standard "tooLarge" SetError MUST be returned.  A "maxSize"
   "UnsignedInt" property MUST be present on the SetError specifying the
   maximum size of a message that may be sent, in octets.

   If the Email or Identity id given cannot be found, the submission
   creation is rejected with a standard "invalidProperties" SetError.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The following extra SetError types are defined:

   For "create":

   o  "invalidEmail" - The Email to be sent is invalid in some way.  The
      SetError SHOULD contain a property called "properties" of type
      "String[]" that lists *all* the properties of the Email that were
      invalid.

   o  "tooManyRecipients" - The envelope (supplied or generated) has
      more recipients than the server allows.  A "maxRecipients"
      "UnsignedInt" property MUST also be present on the SetError
      specifying the maximum number of allowed recipients.

   o  "noRecipients" - The envelope (supplied or generated) does not
      have any rcptTo email addresses.

   o  "invalidRecipients" - The "rcptTo" property of the envelope
      (supplied or generated) contains at least one rcptTo value, which
      is not a valid email address for sending to.  An
      "invalidRecipients" "String[]" property MUST also be present on
      the SetError, which is a list of the invalid addresses.

   o  "forbiddenMailFrom" - The server does not permit the user to send
      a message with the envelope From address [RFC5321].

   o  "forbiddenFrom" - The server does not permit the user to send a
      message with the From header field [RFC5322] of the message to be
      sent.

   o  "forbiddenToSend" - The user does not have permission to send at
      all right now for some reason.  A "description" "String" property
      MAY be present on the SetError object to display to the user why
      they are not permitted.

   For "update":

   o  "cannotUnsend" - The client attempted to update the "undoStatus"
      of a valid EmailSubmission object from "pending" to "canceled",
      but the message cannot be unsent.











RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


7.5.1.  Example

   The following example presumes a draft of the Email to be sent has
   already been saved, and its Email id is "M7f6ed5bcfd7e2604d1753f6c".
   This call then sends the Email immediately, and if successful,
   removes the "$draft" flag and moves it from the drafts folder (which
   has Mailbox id "7cb4e8ee-df87-4757-b9c4-2ea1ca41b38e") to the sent
   folder (which we presume has Mailbox id "73dbcb4b-bffc-48bd-8c2a-
   a2e91ca672f6").

      [[ "EmailSubmission/set", {
        "accountId": "ue411d190",
        "create": {
          "k1490": {

              },
              "rcptTo": [{

      }, "0" ]]

   A successful response might look like this.  Note that there are two
   responses due to the implicit "Email/set" call, but both have the
   same method call id as they are due to the same call in the request:

           [[ "EmailSubmission/set", {
             "accountId": "ue411d190",
             "oldState": "012421s6-8nrq-4ps4-n0p4-9330r951ns21",
             "newState": "355421f6-8aed-4cf4-a0c4-7377e951af36",
             "created": {

               }
             }
           }, "0" ],

             }
           }, "0" ]]

   Suppose instead an admin has removed sending rights for the user, so
   the submission is rejected with a "forbiddenToSend" error.  The
   description argument of the error is intended for display to the
   user, so it should be localised appropriately.  Let's suppose the
   request was sent with an Accept-Language header like this:

                    Accept-Language: de;q=0.9,en;q=0.8





















RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The server should attempt to choose the best localisation from those
   it has available based on the Accept-Language header, as described in
   [RFC8620], Section 3.8.  If the server has English, French, and
   German translations, it would choose German as the preferred language
   and return a response like this:

[[ "EmailSubmission/set", {
  "accountId": "ue411d190",
  "oldState": "012421s6-8nrq-4ps4-n0p4-9330r951ns21",

      "type": "forbiddenToSend",
      "description": "Verzeihung, wegen verdaechtiger Aktivitaeten Ihres
       Benutzerkontos haben wir den Versand von Nachrichten gesperrt.
       Bitte wenden Sie sich fuer Hilfe an unser Support Team."
    }
  }
}, "0" ]]

8.  Vacation Response

   A vacation response sends an automatic reply when a message is
   delivered to the mail store, informing the original sender that their
   message may not be read for some time.

   Automated message sending can produce undesirable behaviour.  To
   avoid this, implementors MUST follow the recommendations set forth in
   [RFC3834].

   The *VacationResponse* object represents the state of vacation-
   response-related settings for an account.  It has the following
   properties:

   o  id: "Id" (immutable; server-set)

      The id of the object.  There is only ever one VacationResponse
      object, and its id is "singleton".

   o  isEnabled: "Boolean"

      Should a vacation response be sent if a message arrives between
      the "fromDate" and "toDate"?








RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  fromDate: "UTCDate|null"

      If "isEnabled" is true, messages that arrive on or after this
      date-time (but before the "toDate" if defined) should receive the
      user's vacation response.  If null, the vacation response is
      effective immediately.

   o  toDate: "UTCDate|null"

      If "isEnabled" is true, messages that arrive before this date-time
      (but on or after the "fromDate" if defined) should receive the
      user's vacation response.  If null, the vacation response is
      effective indefinitely.

   o  subject: "String|null"

      The subject that will be used by the message sent in response to
      messages when the vacation response is enabled.  If null, an
      appropriate subject SHOULD be set by the server.

   o  textBody: "String|null"

      The plaintext body to send in response to messages when the
      vacation response is enabled.  If this is null, the server SHOULD
      generate a plaintext body part from the "htmlBody" when sending
      vacation responses but MAY choose to send the response as HTML
      only.  If both "textBody" and "htmlBody" are null, an appropriate
      default body SHOULD be generated for responses by the server.

   o  htmlBody: "String|null"

      The HTML body to send in response to messages when the vacation
      response is enabled.  If this is null, the server MAY choose to
      generate an HTML body part from the "textBody" when sending
      vacation responses or MAY choose to send the response as plaintext
      only.

   The following JMAP methods are supported.

8.1.  VacationResponse/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1.

   There MUST only be exactly one VacationResponse object in an account.
   It MUST have the id "singleton".





RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


8.2.  VacationResponse/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3.

9.  Security Considerations

   All security considerations of JMAP [RFC8620] apply to this
   specification.  Additional considerations specific to the data types
   and functionality introduced by this document are described in the
   following subsections.

9.1.  EmailBodyPart Value

   Service providers typically perform security filtering on incoming
   messages, and it's important that the detection of content-type and
   charset for the security filter aligns with the heuristics performed
   by JMAP servers.  Servers that apply heuristics to determine the
   content-type or charset for an EmailBodyValue SHOULD document the
   heuristics and provide a mechanism to turn them off in the event they
   are misaligned with the security filter used at a particular mail
   host.

   Automatic conversion of charsets that allow hidden channels for ASCII
   text, such as UTF-7, have been problematic for security filters in
   the past, so server implementations can mitigate this risk by having
   such conversions off-by-default and/or separately configurable.

   To allow the client to restrict the volume of data it can receive in
   response to a request, a maximum length may be requested for the data
   returned for a textual body part.  However, truncating the data may
   change the semantic meaning, for example, truncating a URL changes
   its location.  Servers that scan for links to malicious sites should
   take care to either ensure truncation is not at a semantically
   significant point or rescan the truncated value for malicious content
   before returning it.

9.2.  HTML Email Display

   HTML message bodies provide richer formatting for messages but
   present a number of security challenges, especially when embedded in
   a webmail context in combination with interface HTML.  Clients that
   render HTML messages should carefully consider the potential risks,
   including:







RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   o  Embedded JavaScript can rewrite the message to change its content
      on subsequent opening, allowing users to be mislead.  In webmail
      systems, if run in the same origin as the interface, it can access
      and exfiltrate all private data accessible to the user, including
      all other messages and potentially contacts, calendar events,
      settings, and credentials.  It can also rewrite the interface to
      undetectably phish passwords.  A compromise is likely to be
      persistent, not just for the duration of page load, due to
      exfiltration of session credentials or installation of a service
      worker that can intercept all subsequent network requests
      (however, this would only be possible if blob downloads are also
      available on the same origin, and the service worker script is
      attached to the message).

   o  HTML documents may load content directly from the Internet rather
      than just referencing attached resources.  For example, you may
      have an "<img>" tag with an external "src" attribute.  This may
      leak to the sender when a message is opened, as well as the IP
      address of the recipient.  Cookies may also be sent and set by the
      server, allowing tracking between different messages and even
      website visits and advertising profiles.

   o  In webmail systems, CSS can break the layout or create phishing
      vulnerabilities.  For example, the use of "position:fixed" can
      allow a message to draw content outside of its normal bounds,
      potentially clickjacking a real interface element.

   o  If in a webmail context and not inside a separate frame, any
      styles defined in CSS rules will apply to interface elements as
      well if the selector matches, allowing the interface to be
      modified.  Similarly, any interface styles that match elements in
      the message will alter their appearance, potentially breaking the
      layout of the message.

   o  The link text in HTML has no necessary correlation with the actual
      target of the link, which can be used to make phishing attacks
      more convincing.

   o  Links opened from a message or embedded external content may leak
      private info in the Referer header sent by default in most
      systems.

   o  Forms can be used to mimic login boxes, providing a potent
      phishing vector if allowed to submit directly from the message
      display.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   There are a number of ways clients can mitigate these issues, and a
   defence-in-depth approach that uses a combination of techniques will
   provide the strongest security.

   o  HTML can be filtered before rendering, stripping potentially
      malicious content.  Sanitising HTML correctly is tricky, and
      implementors are strongly recommended to use a well-tested library
      with a carefully vetted whitelist-only approach.  New features
      with unexpected security characteristics may be added to HTML
      rendering engines in the future; a blacklist approach is likely to
      result in security issues.

      Subtle differences in parsing of HTML can introduce security
      flaws: to filter with 100% accuracy, you need to use the same
      parser that the HTML rendering engine will use.

   o  Encapsulating the message in an "<iframe sandbox>", as defined in
      [HTML], Section 4.7.6, can help mitigate a number of risks.  This
      will:

      *  Disable JavaScript.

      *  Disable form submission.

      *  Prevent drawing outside of its bounds or conflicts between
         message CSS and interface CSS.

      *  Establish a unique anonymous origin, separate to the containing
         origin.

   o  A strong Content Security Policy (see <https://www.w3.org/TR/
      CSP3/>) can, among other things, block JavaScript and the loading
      of external content should it manage to evade the filter.

   o  The leakage of information in the Referer header can be mitigated
      with the use of a referrer policy (see <https://www.w3.org/TR/
      referrer-policy/>).

   o  A "crossorigin=anonymous" attribute on tags that load remote
      content can prevent cookies from being sent.

   o  If adding "target=_blank" to open links in new tabs, also add
      "rel=noopener" to ensure the page that opens cannot change the URL
      in the original tab to redirect the user to a phishing site.

   As highly complex software components, HTML rendering engines
   increase the attack surface of a client considerably, especially when
   being used to process untrusted, potentially malicious content.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   Serious bugs have been found in image decoders, JavaScript engines,
   and HTML parsers in the past, which could lead to full system
   compromise.  Clients using an engine should ensure they get the
   latest version and continue to incorporate any security patches
   released by the vendor.

9.3.  Multiple Part Display

   Messages may consist of multiple parts to be displayed sequentially
   as a body.  Clients MUST render each part in isolation and MUST NOT
   concatenate the raw text values to render.  Doing so may change the
   overall semantics of the message.  If the client or server is
   decrypting a Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or S/MIME encrypted part,
   concatenating with other parts may leak the decrypted text to an
   attacker, as described in [EFAIL].

9.4.  Email Submission

   SMTP submission servers [RFC6409] use a number of mechanisms to
   mitigate damage caused by compromised user accounts and end-user
   systems including rate limiting, anti-virus/anti-spam milters (mail
   filters), and other technologies.  The technologies work better when
   they have more information about the client connection.  If JMAP
   email submission is implemented as a proxy to an SMTP submission
   server, it is useful to communicate this information from the JMAP
   proxy to the submission server.  The de facto XCLIENT extension to
   SMTP [XCLIENT] can be used to do this, but use of an authenticated
   channel is recommended to limit use of that extension to explicitly
   authorised proxies.

   JMAP servers that proxy to an SMTP submission server SHOULD allow use
   of the submissions port [RFC8314].  Implementation of a mechanism
   similar to SMTP XCLIENT is strongly encouraged.  While Simple
   Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) PLAIN over TLS [RFC4616] is
   presently the mandatory-to-implement mechanism for interoperability
   with SMTP submission servers [RFC4954], a JMAP submission proxy
   SHOULD implement and prefer a stronger mechanism for this use case
   such as TLS client certificate authentication with SASL EXTERNAL
   ([RFC4422], Appendix A) or Salted Challenge Response Authentication
   Mechanism (SCRAM) [RFC7677].

   In the event the JMAP server directly relays mail to SMTP servers in
   other administrative domains, implementation of the de facto [milter]
   protocol is strongly encouraged to integrate with third-party
   products that address security issues including anti-virus/anti-spam,
   reputation protection, compliance archiving, and data loss
   prevention.  Proxying to a local SMTP submission server may be a
   simpler way to provide such security services.



RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


9.5.  Partial Account Access

   A user may only have permission to access a subset of the data that
   exists in an account.  To avoid leaking unauthorised information, in
   such a situation, the server MUST treat any data the user does not
   have permission to access the same as if it did not exist.

   For example, suppose user A has an account with two Mailboxes, inbox
   and sent, but only shares the inbox with user B.  In this case, when
   user B fetches Mailboxes for this account, the server MUST behave as
   though the sent Mailbox did not exist.  Similarly, when querying or
   fetching Email objects, it MUST treat any messages that just belong
   to the sent Mailbox as though they did not exist.  Fetching Thread
   objects MUST only return ids for Email objects the user has
   permission to access; if none, the Thread again MUST be treated the
   same as if it did not exist.

   If the server forbids a single account from having two identical
   messages, or two messages with the same Message-Id header field, a
   user with write access can use the error returned by trying to
   create/import such a message to detect whether it already exists in
   an inaccessible portion of the account.

9.6.  Permission to Send from an Address

   In recent years, the email ecosystem has moved towards associating
   trust with the From address in the message [RFC5322], particularly
   with schemes such as Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting,
   and Conformance (DMARC) [RFC7489].

   The set of Identity objects (see Section 6) in an account lets the
   client know which email addresses the user has permission to send
   from.  Each email submission is associated with an Identity, and
   servers SHOULD reject submissions where the From header field of the
   message does not correspond to the associated Identity.

   The server MAY allow an exception to send an exact copy of an
   existing message received into the mail store to another address
   (otherwise known as "redirecting" or "bouncing"), although it is
   RECOMMENDED the server limit this to destinations the user has
   verified they also control.

   If the user attempts to create a new Identity object, the server MUST
   reject it with the appropriate error if the user does not have
   permission to use that email address to send from.






RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


   The SMTP MAIL FROM address [RFC5321] is often confused with the From
   message header field [RFC5322].  The user generally only ever sees
   the address in the message header field, and this is the primary one
   to enforce.  However, the server MUST also enforce appropriate
   restrictions on the MAIL FROM address [RFC5321] to stop the user from
   flooding a third-party address with bounces and non-delivery notices.

   The JMAP submission model provides separate errors for impermissible
   addresses in either context.

   Security and privacy considerations: this document, Section 9

10.4.  IMAP and JMAP Keywords Registry

   This document makes two changes to the IMAP keywords registry as
   defined in [RFC5788].

   First, the name of the registry is changed to the "IMAP and JMAP
   Keywords" registry.

   Second, a scope column is added to the template and registry
   indicating whether a keyword applies to "IMAP-only", "JMAP-only",
   "both", or "reserved".  All keywords already in the IMAP keyword
   registry have been marked with a scope of "both".  The "reserved"
   status can be used to prevent future registration of a name that
   would be confusing if registered.  Registration of keywords with
   scope "reserved" omit most fields in the registration template (see
   registration of "$recent" below for an example); such registrations
   are intended to be infrequent.

   IMAP clients MAY silently ignore any keywords marked "JMAP-only" or
   "reserved" in the event they appear in protocol.  JMAP clients MAY
   silently ignore any keywords marked "IMAP-only" or "reserved" in the
   event they appear in protocol.

   New "JMAP-only" keywords are registered in the following subsections.
   These keywords correspond to IMAP system keywords and are thus not
   appropriate for use in IMAP.  These keywords cannot be subsequently
   registered for use in IMAP except via standards action.









RFC 8621                        JMAP Mail                    August 2019


10.4.1.  Registration of JMAP Keyword "$draft"

   This registers the "JMAP-only" keyword "$draft" in the "IMAP and JMAP
   Keywords" registry.

   Keyword name: $draft

   Scope: JMAP-only

   Purpose (description): This is set when the user wants to treat the
   message as a draft the user is composing.  This is the JMAP
   equivalent of the IMAP \Draft flag.

   Private or Shared on a server: BOTH

   Is it an advisory keyword or may it cause an automatic action:
   Automatic.  If the account has an IMAP mailbox marked with the
   \Drafts special use attribute [RFC6154], setting this flag MAY cause
   the message to appear in that mailbox automatically.  Certain JMAP
   computed values such as "unreadEmails" will change as a result of
   changing this flag.  In addition, mail clients will typically present
   draft messages in a composer window rather than a viewer window.

   When/by whom the keyword is set/cleared: This is typically set by a
   JMAP client when referring to a draft message.  One model for draft
   Emails would result in clearing this flag in an "EmailSubmission/set"
   operation with an "onSuccessUpdateEmail" argument.  In a mail store
   shared by JMAP and IMAP, this is also set and cleared as necessary so
   it matches the IMAP \Draft flag.

   Related keywords: None

   Related IMAP/JMAP Capabilities: SPECIAL-USE [RFC6154]

   Security Considerations: A server implementing this keyword as a
   shared keyword may disclose that a user considers the message a draft
   message.  This information would be exposed to other users with read
   permission for the Mailbox keywords.

10.4.2.  Registration of JMAP Keyword "$seen"

   This registers the "JMAP-only" keyword "$seen" in the "IMAP and JMAP
   Keywords" registry.

   Keyword name: $seen

   Scope: JMAP-only

   Purpose (description): This is set when the user wants to treat the
   message as read.  This is the JMAP equivalent of the IMAP \Seen flag.

   Private or Shared on a server: BOTH

   Is it an advisory keyword or may it cause an automatic action:
   Advisory.  However, certain JMAP computed values such as
   "unreadEmails" will change as a result of changing this flag.

   When/by whom the keyword is set/cleared: This is set by a JMAP client
   when it presents the message content to the user; clients often offer
   an option to clear this flag.  In a mail store shared by JMAP and
   IMAP, this is also set and cleared as necessary so it matches the
   IMAP \Seen flag.

   Related keywords: None

   Related IMAP/JMAP Capabilities: None

   Security Considerations: A server implementing this keyword as a
   shared keyword may disclose that a user considers the message to have
   been read.  This information would be exposed to other users with
   read permission for the Mailbox keywords.

10.4.3.  Registration of JMAP Keyword "$flagged"

   This registers the "JMAP-only" keyword "$flagged" in the "IMAP and
   JMAP Keywords" registry.

   Keyword name: $flagged

   Scope: JMAP-only

   Purpose (description): This is set when the user wants to treat the
   message as flagged for urgent/special attention.  This is the JMAP
   equivalent of the IMAP \Flagged flag.

   Private or Shared on a server: BOTH

   Is it an advisory keyword or may it cause an automatic action:
   Automatic.  If the account has an IMAP mailbox marked with the
   \Flagged special use attribute [RFC6154], setting this flag MAY cause
   the message to appear in that mailbox automatically.

   When/by whom the keyword is set/cleared: JMAP clients typically allow
   a user to set/clear this flag as desired.  In a mail store shared by
   JMAP and IMAP, this is also set and cleared as necessary so it
   matches the IMAP \Flagged flag.

   Related keywords: None

   Related IMAP/JMAP Capabilities: SPECIAL-USE [RFC6154]

   Security Considerations: A server implementing this keyword as a
   shared keyword may disclose that a user considers the message as
   flagged for urgent/special attention.  This information would be

   This registers the "JMAP-only" keyword "$answered" in the "IMAP and
   JMAP Keywords" registry.

   Keyword name: $answered

   Scope: JMAP-only

   Purpose (description): This is set when the message has been
   answered.

   Private or Shared on a server: BOTH

   Is it an advisory keyword or may it cause an automatic action:
   Advisory.

   When/by whom the keyword is set/cleared: JMAP clients typically set
   this when submitting a reply or answer to the message.  It may be set
   by the "EmailSubmission/set" operation with an "onSuccessUpdateEmail"
   argument.  In a mail store shared by JMAP and IMAP, this is also set
   and cleared as necessary so it matches the IMAP \Answered flag.

   Related keywords: None
