Resumo:
This work presents a proposal for a new protocol for the access and
retrieval of messages in an Internet eletronic mail system. Currently
there are two protocols that can be used to access and retrieve
messages. This kind of work is made by the POP and IMAP
protocols. None of these protocols offer functionality that helps in the
automatic administration of electronic mailboxes. A new protocol,
named Smart Post Office Protocol - SPOP, stores the messages in
the mail server, associated with special messages folders, called
Smart Folders or SFolders. Each SFolder has a rule that specifies the
kind of messages that it will store. This work also defines a language
that is used to contruct the rules of a SFolder, called Smart Folder
Definition Language (SFDL). Once the SFolder has been created, the
entire message classification process is performed automatically,
ensuring the consistency of the classification whenever the client
accesses the mailbox. The retrieval of messages can then be
performed efficiently.
