Shoddy IMAP servers might be the issue indeed but I am sure I am not the only one facing this and if MM could support tags reliably across the spectrum of servers (using IMAP or not), it would surely be a big plus.
Certainly, but I already do many things to make MailMate work with all kinds of shoddy IMAP servers. I have to draw the line somewhere and for me it's adding (complex and inefficient) workarounds for missing server features. I already work around missing UIDPLUS support (an old IMAP extension for offline email clients) and this was a bit of a nightmare to implement. Also, such a workaround would never have the potential of working with any other email clients.
Two of my problematic services are running on Exchange. Another is using office365.com. Yet another is running CommuniGate Pro which supports the IMAP tags but they decided to allow only a subset of standard tags (I am arguing with them but no luck so far — large institutions have their own ideas what should be).
Exchange is unfortunately one of very few IMAP servers not supporting IMAP keywords.
