(RFC 1939)
-
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
(RFC 2045,
RFC 2046,
RFC 2047,
RFC 2048,
RFC 2049)
-
STD 11,
RFC 822,
defines a message representation protocol specifying
considerable detail about US-ASCII message headers, and leaves the
message content, or message body, as flat US-ASCII text. This set of
documents, collectively called the Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions, or MIME, redefines the format of messages to allow for
-
textual message bodies in character sets other than US-ASCII,
-
an extensible set of different formats for non-textual message bodies,
-
multi-part message bodies, and
-
textual header information in character sets other than US-ASCII.
-
Internet Message Access Protocol
(RFC 2060)
-
he Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4rev1)
allows a client to access and manipulate electronic mail messages on
a server. IMAP4rev1 permits manipulation of remote message folders,
called "mailboxes", in a way that is functionally equivalent to local
mailboxes. IMAP4rev1 also provides the capability for an offline
client to resynchronize with the server.
-
Common Internet Message Headers
(RFC 2076)
-
This memo contains a table of commonly occurring headers in headings
of e-mail messages. The document compiles information from other RFCs
such as
RFC 822,
RFC 1026,
RFC 1123,
RFC 1327,
RFC 1496,
RFC 1521,
RFC 1766,
RFC 1806,
RFC 1864,
and
RFC 1911.
A few commonly occurring
headers which are not defined in RFCs are also included. For each
header, the memo gives a short description and a reference to the RFC
in which the header is defined.
-
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
(RFC 2821)
-
This document is a self-contained specification of the basic protocol
for the Internet electronic mail transport. It consolidates, updates
and clarifies, but doesn't add new or change existing functionality
of the following:
-
the original SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) specification of
RFC 821,
-
domain name system requirements and implications for mail
transport from
RFC 1035
and
RFC 974,
-
the clarifications and applicability statements in
RFC 1123,
and
-
material drawn from the SMTP Extension mechanisms.
-
Internet Message Format
(RFC 2822)
-
This standard specifies a syntax for text messages that are sent
between computer users, within the framework of "electronic mail"
messages. This standard supersedes the one specified in
Request For Comments (RFC) 822,
"Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text
Messages", updating it to reflect current practice and incorporating
incremental changes that were specified in other RFCs.
