OK, that gets it more clear to me.

But is there really no way to implement labels and/or other flags
visible in the list of mails like the status?

Would be a really great feature for all of us, working on different
machines with the same IMAP accounts.

I never used ethereal by now, but I will try. If someone can give me any
hint, it will be really welcome.

btw: I tried to get a message from IMAP server with telnet -- like i did
often for POP3. Unfortunately I couldn't find any documents, that give
me an overview of the IMAP commands -- so I checked RFC. Dammit, thats
getting real hard. Any hints here?


I will give you the results, as I managed to get them...
