Custom tags/keywords/labels

Custom tags/keywords/labels

[Thomas Ieong]

Hey

I'm just trying to get the tags/marks/labels that you find in Thunderbird like
Important/Todo or even custom ones visible to gnus but I don't know
how to do that.

My use case is that I'm in a team that relies heavily on Thunderbird
tags to assign to which team member a task(There are custom tags
for each member of the team).

So I can see that the server do have the custom flags:

FETCH(FLAGS (\Seen CUSTOM50) ....

Also I saw that there was gnus-registry-marks-* and while it does allow
to store important/todo/custom tags... locally it does not seems to push
them to the remote server(imap) and as a result my webmail and
Thunderbird can't see the tags.

You'll have to write custom code because nnimap-request-set-mark (see
also nnchoke-request-set-mark in the manual) currently uses a hardcoded
list of marks. And if you want to hitch it to the normal update (rather
than a custom asynchronous command) you'll probably have to modify
gnus-update-marks.
