Hi,

The function I attached fails on filter folders. I can avoid the
error, but I cannot make filter folders sync marks properly with IMAP.
This seems to me an argument that we perhaps need 3 ways of getting
flags from elmo-folder-list-flagged:

1. Merged flags (elmo-folder-list-flagged folder flag)
2. msgdb flags only  (elmo-folder-list-flagged folder flag 'in-msgdb)
3. Server flags only (elmo-folder-list-flagged folder flag 'on-server)
   This would be new functionality.

Any thoughts?

best, Erik
