class IMAPProcessor::Flag

Automatically flag your messages, yo!

aka part two of my Plan for Total Email Domination.

IMAPFlag flags messages you’ve responded to, messages you’ve written and messages in response to messages you’ve written.

If you unflag a message IMAPFlag is smart and doesn’t re-flag it.

I chose these settings because I find these messages interesting but don’t want to manually flag them. Why should I do all the clicking when the computer can do it for me?

Constants

AUTO_FLAG_KEYWORD: IMAP keyword for automatically flagged messages
MESSAGE_ID: Message-Id query
