dovecot - Aug 2003 - Custom flags.

How do I define custom flags? What are added features of IMAP apart from
Online access and Hierarchy folders.
 
 
I created a new folder and copied couple of messages from incoming file.
Where is this new folder created? Also Microsoft Outlook still shows the
messages in incoming as deleted. How do I refresh list to permanently
delete the messages that I have already transferred to a different
folder.

That depends on your IMAP client. Outlook and OE don't support them at 
all. Only few seem to support them actually.

To me the biggest benefit is being able to read the same mail from 
multiple computers. There's lots of smaller features, but they're not 
that important.

~/mail/ directory.

Use "expunge" command. I think it's somewhere in the menus.
