Message marking / tagging / highlighting (IMAP)

[quote user="bmpan"]

Any new ideas regarding this issue? I found the following in the documentetion of another IMAP server:

[quote]

There are five pre-defined flags that may be set on each message in an IMAP folder: \Seen, \Answered, \Draft, \Deleted, and \Flagged.

An IMAP server may also optionally offer the ability to set arbitrary client-defined flags for any message.

Also, I heard about some email clients supporting user defined flags. I checked all the config and ini files of Mercury, but there seems no option to define custom flags. Would be useful to have that feature of message highlighting back, particular in a multi-user environment.[/quote]

As you have found, Mercury does not handle the writing of the highlighted/urgent indicator in IMAP connections.

This has been brought up before as an item on the wish list.

Almost any email client supports the feature of marking / highlighting / tagging single messages. In Outlook Express it was a little flag, in Thunderbird it is a star to mark messages.

However if I mark a massage in an IMAP account, the marking gets lost as soon as I leave that folder. I found no advice regarding this problem in the Mercury documentation or in the forum.

In a session log I found the entry:

11:17:39.203: << * FLAGS (\Deleted \Draft \Seen \Answered)<cr><lf>

In RFC2060 I found " \Flagged Message is "flagged" for urgent/special attention"

Seems that the "\Flagged" flag is responsible for message highlighting. Is this not supported by Mercury? Do I need a special enabling for this feature?
