My first reaction was: yes, let the users decide what the flag means to them. But then I thought how I am actually using the flag, and it's exactly like in your proposal and I always have to remove the flag manually when replying. Or a bit shorter: no.

I approve because this is how I use the flagged marker. I always unset the flag after a reply, and while I assume it's how everyone does it, doing so automatically deviates from other mail client behavior and might cause confusion. FWIW - Unless I knew in advance IMP would unset the flag, I certainly would be when I went into my Flagged messages folder.

Changing the meaning of IMAP \FLAGGED flag was not a good idea. We have 50000 users that are used to the existing semantics. Almost all MUAs are rendering the flag as Important, and it shouldn't be changed too lightly. Furthermore, because someone has set the flag manually, the MUA shouldn't clear it. It seems like a bug to me.

It has to be a bug. The first several times I tried this, when I clicked "Select" and chose "Important" the message I checked became unchecked and nothing happened to it, and another message further down in the list became checked. When I unchecked the message further down, it turned pink like as if it was set to "Important" until I refreshed my Inbox. Now, after messing around with this for a while, trying to find something that works, when I choose "Important" from the "Select" drop-down, it does nothing. When I choose Flag for Followup the message remains un-highlighted (might be my theme) except when you mouse over it. It's nice to be able to see the Important messages at a glance, without having to mouse over them. This looks rushed. > Changing the meaning of IMAP \FLAGGED flag was not a good idea.
