hmm, you say this is better than reading the RFCs, but you copied the RCFs so it is the same thing, why dont you explain how to implement these protocols instead of reiterating a few RFCs that are already posted on thousands of web pages

Thnaks imn0thing & Nick Smith for your comments but i would like to tell you more. the doc i have submitted on pscode is not a cut copy & paste. yes i get a lot of material from RFcs regarding Web based email systems as i mention it in docs, but before this, i have read all rfcs and then ommitted unnecessary material from these Rfcs and Added some useful material which is not present in RFCs. well i thought that combining all related RFCs (+ some other stuff like what is web based email systems and how it work? etc etc) will be a usefull stuff for otherguys and u see that people liked my work (by giving me their precious votes).

So what if he copied from RFCs!!! Big deal! He didn't copy them WORD FOR WORD... You really got to admit, that most RFCs, although very useful... Get easilly outdated, and are not always in the best order! All that he did was go through and sort it out! I'd rather read a well formatted document with images for reference than a text only out of order RFC with nothing but: X---X | |-O-X---X |-----X-| X for reference pieces! I know that a lot of time went in to this project! I give it an EXCELLENT rating! Great work!

This is in response to Nick Smith's comments. I have looked at his postings and if we make a sum of the score that he got, I dont think that he would come close to what the voters have decided with Mr. Malik's posting. I believe in democracy and let the voters decide of the outcome. I have been working in development of web based email systems for the last year and believe me that if I had access to the document written by Mr. Malik, my life would have been made much easier. My opinion about the posting of Mr. Malik is excellent, and would like to see the next document on IMAP promised by Mr. Malik
