Hi,

Is there a way to set tags/labels that persist on the IMAP server? That way I can create an automation tool that can work with the tags that TB sets, or I can have the automation set the tags and have TB recognize them.

This is similar to what GMail does: if I put a tag in the client, I ca use an external tool to process the emails and that tool can see the label.

I searched and I see that IMAP is suppsoed to support keywords or tags but I don't see how that wokrs with Thunderbird.

Thanks,

L

The tags are stored on the IMAP server if the server supports keywords, but not all servers do. In the case of gmail, a tag applied in TB on one computer is displayed in TB on another device, as long as both devices have the same set of tags defined. Keep in mind that gmail uses the term 'label' in a different sense from TB's tags.
