[imapfilter-devel] Displaying Gmail Folders (Labels)

[Lefteris Chatzimparmpas]

Hello,

Doesn't Gmail use a folder structure? I thought it just had the folders
under "[Gmail]" eg. "[Gmail]/Sent Mail".  Of course "INBOX" is still
"INBOX"...

Other than that if Gmail uses IMAP FETCH and IMAP STORE to have special
flags (called keywords), then I guess imapfilter's
fetch_flags()/{add,remove,replace}_flags() functions could be of help.
