Yes. If you offer \* as one of the PERMANENTFLAGS, that means that you offer the facility of allowing the client to create keywords (flags which do not begin with "\"). Any such created keywords must appear in a subsequent SELECT in the FLAGS and PERMANENTFLAGS responses. This is per-mailbox. Typically, each mailbox has a metadata area in which such things as UIDVALIDITY, UIDNEXT, and list of created keywords are maintained. If you do not wish to offer this facility, then do not include \* in the PERMANENTFLAGS. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
