Abstract: A system and method for improved client and server communications, more particularly, an improved protocol that may be used for communication between a client and a server, such as in an email environment. A request sent by an email client component may indicate no limit for the size of a response to the request, allowing an email server component to fill a buffer, if needed. The email client component sends a plurality of subrequests within a request, each of the subrequests requesting an operation at an email server component and including size information. In response to each subrequest, if the size information includes a size limit inside a range expected by the email server component, then the email server component limits a response to the size limit. If the size information includes a size limit outside a range expected by the email server component, then the email server component looks for a new size limit in the size information. The new size limit may be arbitrary, such as "fill the available buffer".
