808533 - saving message in IMAP folder fails, due to "APPEND failed: unknown flag"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 382117

(MailNews Core :: Networking: IMAP, defect)

Description

[popo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121010144125

Steps to reproduce:

I try to move a tagged (user tag called "power") message from one IMAP server to the other.
I'm doing a right click, and then "move to"



Actual results:

The operation fails with the following message: "APPEND failed: Unknown flag: power"


Expected results:

The "power" tag should have been appended to the message header.

Seems like my server supports tags. I tried to thindgs:
1) tag the message in outlook, and then move it: Message is saved correctly, and the tag appears in the header.

2) Log into the IMAP server, using telnet, and set the flag manually (on another mail in that folder):

Escape character is '^]'.

I just tried using the default tags. Marked a message as "important" on the exchange server. When saving the message to the IMPA server, I get an error message:
"Append failed: unknown flag: $label1"

So I guess the problem is with all tags (both predefined, and user defined). Any ideas on how to continue with the debug ?

Can you make an imap log and save it as an attachment?
