He states Exchange Active Sync not IMAP.

 

In my followup drop down I just have a flag option.

Exactly.

Marc, thank you for bringing this up.  The IMAP RFC does not specify follow-up flags anywhere in the specification. This is more than likely a extension that Microsoft included in Outlook outside the original RFC specs.  EAS does specify additional fields that SM currently does nothing with, namely, the start and end dates/times.  This is not a bug.  However, I can see the value of adding such functionality.  I am changing this from a Problem to an Idea thread and adding it to our features request list for further discussion by the dev. team.

I'd also like to add another problem with this. When i use active-sync, I have flag and clear flag under follow-up. The problem is if I click on the flag next to email, i have 3 states. Unflagged, flagged and complete. When complete syncs to server, it becomes flagged. I have a user who tracked her emails using that method, and has had a bunch of problems because of it. I guess Microsoft is to blame here(Since I don't think they should allow different flags if they aren't in follow-up), but it would still be nice if you could implement at least 3 flags.
