How do I set message flags in sieve rules in such a way that e.g. Thunderbird is displaying the mail as "important"? Is there a list of hwo flags are interpreted by different IMAP clients? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Gesch?ftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charit? - Universit?tsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebrandt at charite.de | http://www.charite.de

In Thunderbird, the \Answered flag is used for replied mail and the \Flagged flag maps to 'starred' e-mail. (Don't forget to duplicate the '\' in Sieve!) Regarding keywords, there is RFC5788 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5788), from which at least $Forwarded and $MDNSent are used by Thunderbird. Other keywords used by Thunderbird are entirely custom: $label1: Important (red) $label2: Work (orange) $label3: Personal (green) $label4: ToDo (blue) $label5: Later (violet) Junk: Marked as junk mail NonJunk: Marked as regular mail There is also an example in the wiki: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples#Flagging_or_Highlighting_your_mail Regards, Stephan.

Is there a list of > hwo flags are interpreted by different IMAP clients?There is no standard/defined "important" IMAP flag/keyword. Thunderbird is most likely using the X-Priority pseudo-standard header in the message itself (which makes sense: it is the sender's intention of the message's importance which should be displayed, not the receiver's. Objections to this reasoning by some is likely the reason the header has never been standardized). michael

Quoting ??????? ???????? <public-mail at alekciy.ru>:> See also this thread: > http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot at dovecot.org/msg37734.htmlThis has nothing to do with this issue. As mentioned in that thread, there is no standard for non-UTF7 characters in keywords. The OP here just wants to know if a standard flag exists that corresponds to the Important tag in Thunderbird.> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650623This bug is bogus. Flags/keywords are case insensitive. michael
