As Dave have told you, if the server says in the PERMANENTFLAGS response that it accepts \*, it means that you can create arbitrary flags. Yes, this means that you can create a flag named "$Forwarded". Of course if the PERMANENTFLAGS already contains $Forwarded, you can create that flag even when the server does not say that you can create arbitrary flags. You can also asume the same when there is no PERMANENTFLAGS response, btw. Hope this helps. It's also described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#page-64 . Have you read that? Do you understand the textual description of the PERMANENTFLAGS response code? With kind regards, Jan -- Trojitá, a fast Qt IMAP e-mail client -- http://trojita.flaska.net/
