IMAP FLAGS DON'T WORK

IMAP FLAGS DON'T WORK

Good day.

I have a paid Zoho business account under a different user name as well as a paid Google Apps account.

My original purpose in paying for a Zoho business account was to move the Google Apps account to Zoho.

Regrettably,  I find Zoho's implementation of the IMAP protocol to be deficient in many ways.  Although Google Apps' IMAP is far from perfect, I now find it superior to Zoho IMAP.

For now, I just wish to discuss some of the problems that Zoho Mail has with IMAP flags.

For starters, Zoho IMAP does not always respond to the IMAP 'STATUS "INBOX" (MESSAGES RECENT UNSEEN)' command with an accurate count of recent and new (unseen) messages.

In addition, if a message is copied to Zoho Mail from an external IMAP server, the "unseen" flag from the external sever is not preserved.  (Works O.K. if copied between folders in the same account.)

Because of this (as well as Zoho Mail's rudimentary filtering capability) I'm unable to filter messages in the same manner as I am with the Google Apps account.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

        Dear Zoho Mail users, Thanks to all of you for your continuous support.  We have recently started implementing the Inactive User Policy, for Zoho Mail.  A user is considered as inactive, if the user has not logged in to the Zoho mail account for a period of more than 120 days. The login through POP, IMAP and Active Sync are all taken into account for tracking the period of inactivity.  Whoever received the communication need not panic, as we have just communicated our policy to all the users.  To
