Timo certainly describes a correct behavior, and probably the most strictly correct behavior.
|
|
|
|
In my opinion, a more useful behavior is to issue an untagged NO identifying the unknown flags as a warning, but otherwise append the message and just ignore those flags.
|
|
|
|
RFC 3501 says that keywords are created "by attempting to store those flags in the mailbox". This is somewhat ambiguous due to the use of lowercase "store", but I interpret this as meaning that only a STORE or UID STORE command can create keywords, and a COPY or APPEND command can not.
