Really? I was worried about that before, but then I noticed this in
PERMANENTFLAGS:
If the client
attempts to STORE a flag that is not in the PERMANENTFLAGS
list, the server will either ignore the change or store the
state change for the remainder of the current session only.
And what do you mean OE/Pine would require flags updates? They do try to
set them, but I don't notice any problems with actually using them.
Although my server does send:
* NO Mailbox is read-only, ignoring store..
Which Pine displays all the time.. Maybe I shouldn't send it, or at
least more than once.
