The flags are standard (as far as I know) on most Imap servers now. They are definitely Server side. The client simply needs to be able to read the flag status (on or off) and also be able to change the flag status and pass the info back to the server. It is almost exactly the same as READ\UNREAD status on IMAP as far as I know.
If I change the flag status of an email to FLAGGED on Apple Mail and then log into my webmail on the IMAP server, I will automatically see the flag on the Imap webmail as well. It is a standard feature on desktop but for some strange reason on Mobiles very few OS have it (they all have READ\UNREAD but not the flags). I cannot figure out why. Only the two PALM programs I am using on my Centro seem to offer this feature (just switched my phone again after a month of going back to Nokia communicator) I think FLAGS is really important especially with IMAP IDLE feature as it effectively turns your phone into a balckberry without the need for blackberry service. Let me know if I answered your questions.
