Javamail and followup flags

Hi,

When accessing an IMAP folder with Outlook, I can set different colored
flags. Does this flag the messages on the server side and can I
retrieve and change that flag via javamail?

(Alternatively, is there any flag (I'm guessing a user flag) that
javamail can set that can be displayed by Outlook?)

Very many thanks in advance!

Yes, see the RFC 2060 and RFC 3501.

See the API documentation for the obvious javax.mail.Flags class for a
start.

I think I should have had more info in my original post.

I have used Outlook to give a few messages on the IMAP server flags of
different colors. When I look at the same messages via JavaMail I see
that they are all flagged but I do not know how to get the color.
"flags.getUserFlags()" returns an array of length 0. While the source
that you directed me to indicate to me where else to look?

Thanks!
