Well, you can't modify the message on the server, so you'd have to delete the original and post a new one. (Which, FTR, is exactly what Outlook does if you flag a message in an IMAP folder.) The right long-term answer is to use IMAP annotations, which are basically designed exactly for this. Problem is, no servers support them yet. :) Another possibility would be to try to use flags. Theoretically, servers should let you add arbitrary flags to messages, so you could flag a message with "x-evolution-flag=Rm9sbG93dXA=" (that's base64 since you can't have spaces and some punctuation in a flag name). But I wouldn't be surprised if some servers didn't like that (and some, like Courier, don't let you use custom flags at all). > Evolution has all these great features and I find that I just can't use > them because of the way I work.

It would be nice to separate out some of the palm syncing code into a generic syncing framework and then have the palm sync and the evo-evo sync (and the T68i sync!) use that. There are also some changes that would need to be made to the syncing architecture: right now the backends only allow for a single sync destination and if you tried to have another one, then changes would get randomly split between them... -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
