G'day,
I'm playing around with the IMAP2 proposal again, and I'm wondering if anyone has experience/advice on how the message flags should behave.
Namely, should flags (like \Seen) be stored on a per-user basis, or is a simple global flag sufficient (at least for now)? The spec is a bit vague on this matter, or maybe I'm not looking in the right place. Anyone got experience with other IMAP servers who's aware of the standard approach?
I think flags are per message, not per user. I would have to test, but for instance if I flagged a message as deleted, it is deleted even if users shared that folder.
Reading over the JavaMail JavaDoc, it says these are message-specific, and doesn't imply per-user flags. There are user-defined flags, but those are different types of flags, not how flags work.
