Yes, see: http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html Naturally the POP/IMAP/WebGUI mail access mechanisms must all agree to how the flags are interpreted. The courier-imap server does, and takes it a step further with some additional flags in a naming convention and Maildir use they call "maildir++": http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.maildirquota.html > What IMAP search capabilities would you be able to > satisfy, using only these meta-data ? Content search would require opening the files, natch. But at least you don't have to open files and scan for new mail, open and rewrite files just to mark it read, open and rewrite then rewrite files again to mark a message as deleted. But the original question was about POP, was it not? IMAP search is a bit outside the scope.
