However I would expect folders that can't be modified to have the READ-ONLY property surely? We see things like this (taken from a user log):
0003 SELECT "INBOX"[0x0D][0x0A] * 40 EXISTS * 0 RECENT * OK [UIDVALIDITY 1012731894] UID validity status * OK [UIDNEXT 7880] Predicted next UID * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft \Seen) * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Permanent flags * OK [UNSEEN 8] first unseen message in INBOX 0003 OK [READ-WRITE] SELECT completed
And the user complains that other clients allow FLAGS to be set and they are set permanently (over sessions) which seems to violate the RFC, at least as I understood it.
May I ask which server that is?
I'm beginning to think given our short session times and rigid session model (i.e. we always sync the message flags at start of session), there's really little point in us honouring PERMANENTFLAGS at all.
Does your client refuse to set session flags? Why?
