+1 tagging mail is one of the ideas which has interested me for a long time (especially using machine learning approaches) it's a bit tricky to make this work well with IMAP gmail approaches the idea that tags are categories, and organise their IMAP folders around them. other clients don't seem keen on this idea and the IMAP protocol makes this tricky for more general IMAP implementations. some clients use custom users flags which seems a little clumsy. IMAP METADATA (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5464) is interesting but seems to lack support ATM one of the ideas that i've been playing around with is using a RESTful protocol layer to support tagging and then bridging to IMAP on the server side (perhaps using RFC 5464) - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
