Table of Contents

1. Introduction

JMAP ([RFC8620] – JSON Meta Application Protocol) is a generic protocol for synchronising data, such as mails, calendars or contacts, between a client and a server. It is optimised for mobile and web environments, and aims to provide a consistent interface to different data types.

This specification defines a data model for handling mail quotas over JMAP, allowing you to read and explain quota information.

This specification does not address quota administration, which should be handled by other means.

1.1. Notational conventions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

Type signatures, examples and property descriptions in this document follow the conventions established in section 1.1 of [RFC8620]. Data types defined in the core specification are also used in this document.

Servers MUST support all properties specified for the new data types defined in this document.

1.2. Terminology

1.2.1. Quota

A quota is a numeric upper limit that the server is enforcing. Quotas are applied to accounts.

1.3. Addition to the capabilities object

The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session object; see [RFC8620], section 2.

This document defines one additional capability URI.

1.3.1. urn::ietf::params::jmap::quota

This represents support for the Quota data type and associated API methods. The value of this property in the JMAP session capabilities property is an empty object.

The value of this property in an account’s accountCapabilities property is an object that MUST contain the following information on server capabilities and permissions for that account:

1.4. Push

Servers MUST support the JMAP push mechanisms, as specified in [RFC8620] Section 7, to receive notifications when the state changes for the Quota type defined in this specification.

2. Quota definition

The quota is an object that displays the limit set to an account usage as well as the current usage in regard to that limit.

2.1. The Scope Data Type

The Scope is a String from an enumeration defined list of values, handled by the server.

It explains the entities this value applies to. Some custom specifications might provide some additional values. If the client does not specify custom scope specifications in the "using" parameter of the request, the server should respond the JSON value null, instead of answering a scope value that the client does not support. Standard values are:

2.2. The ResourceType Data Type

The ResourceType is a String from an enumeration defined list of values, handled by the server.

A resource type is like an unit of measure for the quota usage. Some custom specifications might provide some additional values. If the client does not specify custom resource type specifications in the "using" parameter of the request, the server should respond the JSON value null, instead of answering a resource type value that the client does not support. Standard values are:

2.3. The Quota Object

The quota object MUST contain the following fields:

The quota object MAY contain the following field:

2.4. Example

{
  "id": "2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e",
  "resourceType": "count",
  "used": 1056,
  "warnLimit": 1600,
  "softLimit": 1800,
  "limit": 2000,
  "scope": "account",
  "name": "bob@example.com",
  "description": "Personal account usage",
  "datatypes" : [ "Mail", "Calendar", "Contact" ]
}

2.5. Quota/get

Standard “/get” method as described in [RFC8620] section 5.1. The ids argument may be null to fetch all at once.

2.5.1. Example

Request fetching all quotas related to an account :

[[ "Quota/get", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "ids": null
}, "0" ]]

With response :

[[ "Quota/get", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "state": "78540",
  "list": [{
    "id": "2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e",
    "resourceType": "count",
    "used": 1056,
    "warnLimit": 1600,
    "softLimit": 1800,
    "limit": 2000,
    "scope": "account",
    "name": "bob@example.com",
    "description": "Personal account usage",
    "datatypes" : [ "Mail", "Calendar", "Contact" ]
  }, {
    "id": "3b06df0e-3761-4s74-a92f-74dcc963501x",
    "resourceType": "size",
    ...
  }, ...],
  "notFound": []
}, "0" ]]

2.6. Quota/changes

Standard “/changes” method as described in [RFC8620] section 5.2 but with one extra argument to the response:

Since "used" frequently changes but other properties are generally only changed rarely, the server can help the client optimise data transfer by keeping track of changes to Quota usage separate from other state changes. The updatedProperties array may be used directly via a back-reference in a subsequent Quota/get call in the same request, so only these properties are returned if nothing else has changed.

Servers MAY decide to add other properties to the list that they judge changing frequently.

2.6.1. Example

Request:

[[ "Quota/changes", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "sinceState": "10824",
  "maxChanges": 20
}, "0" ],
[ "Quota/get", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "#ids": {
    "resultOf": "0",
    "name": "Quota/changes",
    "path": "/updated"
  },
  "#properties": {
    "resultOf": "0",
    "name": "Quota/changes",
    "path": "/updatedProperties"
  }
}, "1" ]]

Response:

[[ "Quota/changes", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "oldState": "10824",
  "newState": "10826",
  "hasMoreChanges": false,
  "created": [],
  "updated": ["2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e"],
  "destroyed": []
}, "0" ],
[ "Quota/get", {
  "accountId": "u33084183",
  "state": "10826",
  "list": [{
    "id": "2a06df0d-9865-4e74-a92f-74dcc814270e",
    "used": 1246
  }],
  "notFound": []
}, "1" ]]

2.7. Quota/query

This is a standard “/query” method as described in [RFC8620], Section 5.5.

A FilterCondition object has the following properties, any of which may be omitted:

A Quota object matches the FilterCondition if and only if all of the given conditions match. If zero properties are specified, it is automatically true for all objects.

The following Quota properties MUST be supported for sorting:

2.8. Quota/queryChanges

This is a standard “/queryChanges” method as described in [RFC8620], Section 5.6.

3. Security considerations

All security considerations of JMAP ([RFC8620]) apply to this specification.

4. IANA Considerations

4.1. JMAP Capability Registration for "quota"

IANA will register the "quota" JMAP Capability as follows:

Capability Name: urn:ietf:params:jmap:quota

Specification document: this document

Intended use: common

Change Controller: IETF

Security and privacy considerations: this document, section 4.
