Hmmm, I use thunderbird for my work mailaccount and mark messages as forwarded 
and I give them user defined status, too.

Recently I connected to my work mailbox from a newly configured thunderbird at 
home and all the flags were there, even the user defined ones. So these flags 
have to be on the server somehow (it's a cyrus).

Implementing server side user defined status flags would be better that any 
hack.

Do you know anything about this?

Best,
Daniel
