Its not documented anywhere that I know of. That folder is used to
|
|
represent the label assigned to messages which are detected as "important"
|
|
by our Priority Inbox, and we had folks who use IMAP as an API for Gmail
|
|
asking for access to that information.
|
|
|
|
Its not clear this would ever be a "standard" special-use flag, but I've
|
|
also seen a bunch of push back against using the X prefix, so we weren't
|
|
clear on which way to go.
|
|
|
|
We could have just exposed it on XLIST which isn't formally defined, though
|
|
that keeps us on special handling for Gmail.
|
|
|
|
We went with adding it to LIST since special-use (and previous extensions)
|
|
already imply that clients need to be flexible in handling these. We were
|
|
worried about that, which is why we created XLIST in the first place... and
|
|
when we launched special-use, we did break at least one client which hard
|
|
coded a list of acceptable attributes.
