Recently I connected to my work mailbox from a newly configured thunderbird at home and all the flags were there, even the user defined ones. So these flags have to be on the server somehow (it's a cyrus). Implementing server side user defined status flags would be better that any hack. Quoting Chuck Hagenbuch : Quoting Simon Detheridge : It seems like this should be trivial. Is there an option I'm missing, or do I need to modify a php file somewhere? You'd have to implement it. On large mailboxes it'll be quite slow. I had a bash at it. I've attached a patch that provides the icon and works on my system. I expect all the seasoned developers will be horrified with the way it's done, as I've not had a stab at playing with horde code before. ;-) It *will* stop my users asking for it however. There are problems with reading fhe 'forwarded' state from the history, for example you can't "mark as" forwarded, or similarly unmark... Not without doing some history-mangling, which seems incredibly unwise. I'm thinking that a hack like this could be used to add category information... By adding it to the maillog for the message in question. There'd be no way to search on it though. It'd probably need a separate table...

I have serious reservations about the suggested implementation. At the least this should be done using the mailbox cache instead.

True. I'm also fine with rejecting this patch, but such a feature has been asked for many times and the patch never has been discussed.

I just noticed that Cyrus has a predefined non-system imap flag called $Forwarded, maybe we can use that. I'm working on setting custom flags atm anyway.

FWIW, the thing that's held me up in the past is retrieving them - we can send whatever we want with imap_setflag_full/imap_clearflag_full. But there isn't an imap_* function for directly retrieving flags.

Yeah, I just noticed that. The only function that retrieves

Yeah, I just noticed that. The only function that retrieves these flags is imap_header() which doesn't do what you expect from it's name, but retrieves more or less every message's full headers and partial bodies of a complete mailbox. Guess how efficient this is... Anyway, I got it working now, but it probably should be enabled with mailbox cache only, and only on small installs.

What's the state of this, btw?

Still lingering around on my server, but it will probably never make it into CVS. It's too ugly, kills performance, and probably breaks the imap cache.

Any reason not to close this ticket then?

Well maybe we get the necessary information from ext/imap one day more effectively, stalled until then.
