I've marked several messages in Thunderbird using tags. Tags used are: 0 Important 1 Work 2 To Do 3 Personal 4 Later The messages so tagged appear to have the flag fields set in the IMAP Maildir: cur/1449002162.8993_0.mail:2,Sb cur/1449001929.28087_0.mail:2,Sad I've looked in dovecot-keywords and find: $ more dovecot-keywords 0 $label1 1 $label2 2 $label3 3 $label4 I assume these "$label" values are macros that possibly refer to "Important", "Work", etc., but where are these $label's defined? Are they defined in the dovecot configs somewhere or does the mail client just "know" what these correspond to? --Mark

Thunderbird kept this for compatibility reasons. I think they are stored in the user's prefs.js. Dovecot stores the sring received from the client. -- ?dv?zlettel Stef?n Tam?s --------------------------------- domain > email > web >>> siker Numex Informatika Kft.
