I don't really like the MUST and MUST NOT combination in the two sentences. Could they be merged into one positive sentence something like the following?If the server supports the IMAP4 NAMESPACE command [4], and it is in the authenticated state, the server MUST return an untagged NAMESPACE response when a language is negotiated.Good suggestion. Will do.But how, exactly? I could say one of the following:1. The server MUST remember whether it has sent NAMESPACE to the client at any point during this connection, and MUST resend an appropriate NAMESPACE response when it processes LANGUAGE. The new NAMESPACE's values replace any earlier values sent.
Arnt, can you remind me why you removed "server MUST sends NAMEPSPACE response on LANGUAGE command, if the user is in authenticated state"?
1b. As 1, with "The client MUST NOT cache NAMESPACE values across connections." added.2. The client MUST resent NAMESPACE if it changes language using LANGUAGE after sending the NAMESPACE command.3. Requiring ENABLE. My personal preference is option 2, then 3, then 1/1b.I don't like option 1, because if a client caches NAMESPACE and does not (re)send it on connection establishment, the LANGUAGE command doesn't cause the NAMESPACE response to be sent. And not 1b either, because if the client isn't permited to to cache the namespace response, how can it cache messages in mailboxes whose name starts with a NAMESPACE-based prefix?
