OK, I think maybe I've got some terminology confused. My IMAP client 
(Mulberry) offers "important" as one of the standard flags, as well as 
supporting custom ones. I guess the official IMAP definition of this is 
simply "flagged". In any event, that's the one I want to use.

I see, so that applies only when the client invokes a COPY between folders?

Seems to make sense - think I need to learn more about Sieve :-/
