Interesting stuff. There might be interest (in this chair) when the
proposal is further along. (But by then, the occupant of this chair could
well be retired.)

As Kjetil says, it seems premature now.

I assume that fact that the document has expired is merely a sign that it
hasn't quite yet been resubmitted rather than that interest had flagged.

It seems also as if the IMAP "side" is more important (and more developed)
than the SMTP side. And since suitable IMAP servers can be used as
submission tools, it's not clear that the SMTP side is as important.
