Hi Jeff,
After comparing a tagged email on another machine running the same
version, I found that the tag was NOT visible when applied to an
incoming message there. Therefore it is only applied only to the
locally stored incoming message filed at the local user.
This can vary based on what sort of server you are using. If you use a
standard IMAP server that properly supports IMAP keywords, MM "tags" are
just MailMate's names for the IMAP keywords your server knows about.
OTOH if your outgoing message has a tag applied, you could check to
see if that tag gets transferred to the message headers and somehow
would be decoded by MM at other machines.
Tags are not part of a message. They are metadata maintained by the IMAP
server. If the server doesn't support arbitrary user-defined keywords,
any tags you create with MM are entirely local to MM.
So, ig your question is whether a tag is attached to outgoing messages
that might be a different scenario.
Tags are not any part of any message on an IMAP server, because it is an
IMAP axiom is that messages are immutable.
You would likely have to move the massages themselves. There is np
instruction that I could find about migrating tagged messages or
databases containing header information when moving to a new machine.
If your IMAP server doesn't support arbitrary user-defined IMAP
keywords, there's no documented way to migrate the tags of MM messages
(which are only local in that case) to a new client machine.
