How can I read/write extended flags on an IMAP server with Outlook 2007? (the server supports it with other clients)
Posted on 2015-01-14
A client company I work with is using Outlook 2007 and Cyrus-IMAP. Cyrus supports custom flags/tags/keywords and I've personally tested this functionality through both Thunderbird and Alpine--it works great. I've even checked the cyrus.header file on the server to verify that the flagging/tagging was actually occurring at the server level. It is.
So the question is, how can I do this through Outlook 2007? I'm willing to use add-ins/VBA if necessary. Client is pretty stuck on Outlook even though they won't use Exchange (they can't find a hosted Exchange plan they like).

It seems the option you want is available starting in Outlook 2010

Rechecked, there is no restriction/requirement that this feature is only available within the local.

arnold, it is very obvious that all those features are local to Outlook itself. No mentioning about what other mail servers might do with it.
E.g. flagging: IMAP only knows of "flag", which mostly means "flag as important", and Outlook only allows to set that, while on non-IMAP mailboxes "Follow Up" with dates and stuff is available.
I've found no way to allow for non-standard mail attributes in Outlook IMAP.

You always can build an own communication partner issueing the commands needed "manually", but I know of no way to inject into the existing IMAP account management routines to call that at a higher level in VBA. That means you need to open the port, authenticate, issue plaintext commands, aso.
