RE: shared mailbox permanent flags?

[Pete Maclean]

I think that either what you say is not quite correct or I am not 
understanding it right.  RFC 3501 gives an example of a FLAGS response that 
does not include all the system/built-in flags:

Example:    S: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
In this case, \Recent is missing.  As I read the spec, if you do not 
include a particular system flag in this response, it means that you do not 
support it for the mailbox.  Incidentally, some versions of my server do 
not support \Recent at all.

Ok. So FLAGS should always returns \Answered \Deleted \Draft \Flagged
\Recent and \Seen? Even if they are not applicable for such  mailbox?
