Interesting, but my quick search of the Migadu site turned up nothing about support for "tags", formally "keywords" as stored in the Flags Message Attribute of IMAP:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3501#section-2.3.2

See discussion elsewhere in the post for difficulties around tags with Fastmail and other providers.



Any email provider would be short of useless without supporting flags from IMAP, as that's what email clients use to see if an email has been read or not, if I'm not mistaken.

AFAIK, Migadu supports most if not everything from IMAP. I'm using tags via Thunderbird and have no issues syncing it between multiple computers and Migadu.


From the linked RFC:

> There are two types of flags in IMAP4rev1 ...

Read or not-read is recorded in '\Seen', a system flag.

My question pertains to the other kind of flag, a keyword.

> Keywords do not begin with "\". Servers MAY permit the client to define new keywords in the mailbox ...
