What's the point of the protocol? All the mentioned advantages are either available in IMAP directly or through extensions (Namely: BINARY - transfer decoded attachments, URLAUTH+CATENATE+BURL - part of the Lemonade initative, mail is transferred only once). --82.208.37.229 06:51, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SMAP aims to provide those features without needing extensions, while staying simpler than IMAP. --Piet Delport 22:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Status since 2005

[edit]

"As of 2005" - what is the latest on this protocol after 14 years? --91.135.7.169 (talk) 09:50, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
