That is, does it use the IMAP protocol to store those keywords? Or does it dump the keywords into a message stored in a hidden folder on the IMAP server? Or does it just modify message headers? (remember that IMAP servers like Courier do not store keywords in the message; they're stored in separate index files in each folder) I’m sure this is covered somewhere… does MailTags actually use IMAP keywords?

I use GPGMail as well, in this case I removed both GPGMaIl and MailTags at the same time so I could have confused the symptoms.

However I wasn’t having problems with GPGMail installed before I installed MailTags. I shall investigate more throughly, thanks for the sanity check.

Has anyone else noticed this or is it something particular about my setup?
