Hello, first of all i am not sure wheter this is a correct behavior according to the RFC or not...
Problem is, when i set a new custom permanent flag (e.g. testflag) and remove it afterwards, the flag still stays in the list of the permanent flags of this drawer even if there are no messages left with this flag set. So the keyword list gets "polluted" with unused flags. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] uc.vodafone.de Mailservices ready.

So the new testflag keyword is now in the list even across logins. Regards, Oliver Eales
