Hi!

I'm using isync 1.3.0 (as packaged in Debian 10 "Buster") to interact
with IMAP servers provided by the (giant, Russian) Internet hub Mail.RU.

The problem I encounter is that after connecting to the server and
apparently asking it about the list of messages in a mailbox, mbsync
generates tons of warnings reading
  
  IMAP warning: unknown system flag \Unseen

which appear to be generated for each messages ostensibly marked by the
server with that flag.

The problem is exacerbated by the fact mbsync does not hold to its
promise of not showing warnings is the "--quiet" (or "-q") command-line
option is passed to it twice, so I had to resort to running mbsync
wrapped in a shell script which pipes the mbsync'sstandard error stream
via a sed script which weeds out these warnings.

Is this a known problem?

If no, what can be done about it? I'm willing to help setting up an
account on Mail.RU, if it will be of use (the account is free (as in
beer)).

As to the actual approach to the problem, I wonder whether we could have
something like a number for each possible _type_ of warning message
mbsync generates, and a way to selectively inhibit them?
I'm thinking this way because I would prefer to not keep the warnings
off, just those which I _know_ are harmless.


(I should note that otherwise I'm happy with mbsync; thanks for the
great project!)
