Balsa uses five message flags to characterize the state of a message, corresponding to five of the six IMAP flags <URL:http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3501.html> (Balsa doesn't use \Draft):\Seen Message has been read \Answered Message has been answered \Flagged Message is "flagged" for urgent/special attention \Deleted Message is "deleted" for removal by later EXPUNGE \RecentMessage is "recently" arrived in this mailbox. This sessionis the first session to have been notified about this message; if the session is read-write, subsequent sessionswill not see \Recent set for this message. This flag can notbe altered by the client. For an mbox-style back-end, Balsa stores these as follows: \Seen: 'R' in the Status header \Answered 'A' in the X-Status header \Flagged: 'F' in the X-Status header \Deleted 'D' in the X-Status header \Recent no 'O' in the Status headerSo toggling 'New' (or 'Unread'--I've no idea why it's labeled differently in the Message menu and the context menu!) will add or remove the 'R' in the Status header.
Observation: not only does it use different labels, the context menu only has Flagged and Unread, missing Answered and Deleted. (Also not that the label says "Unread" no matter what the current state, even though it seems the flag indicates Read not Unread.)
Also noticed: I have a maildir folder, and just grepping for the status header in all messages (in the 'cur' folder) most have no value, some have R and a few more have RO. In addition, there are messages in this folder with the flagged icon and some with the answered icon, but I see no F nor A in any status flag header. This is with Balsa 2.5.1. Am I missing something?
