I'm searching for where Outook keeps its information on color categories in
IMAP. According to Diane Poremsky at slipstick.com, "Outlook stores it in the
mapi properties of each message. If you use MFCMAPI to viuw the messages, you'll
see the properties." MAPI is a Windows thing and the recommended MFCMAPI is for
viewing these properties in Exchange. Not what I can use.

Outlook must be storing these properties somewhere in the Dovecot/IMAP system as
color categories can be set from Outlook. Can someone tell me where to look for
these properties?


The keywords are stored in the filename. See the Wiki[1] for more 
information about it.


I'm personally not using Outlook and therefor can't tell for sure, but 
from what I've read on this topic Outlook understands IMAP keywords and 
is syncing them to the IMAP server.

The last time I investigated that was a couple years ago, but according 
to my understanding the IMAP protocol does not support the colour 
categories provided by Outlook, and therefore anything Outlook does in 
that respect is a "Local Only" feature.  That is, the colour categories 
cannot be stored by an IMAP server, nor shared via the IMAP protocol 
between multiple Outlook clients...
