[bug-mailutils] Problem in settting flags ( Read/Unread) for the mails in maildir format

[Chaganti Chaganti]

Hi,


Greeetings!!


I am using Mailultils-1.0 version and using the mailbox format as

 Maildir


I do have problem in setting the read and 

Unread flags.After setting the read flag for a mail, and flusing the mail status is Status : 0R 

( ie. setting the mail as read ) 


setting the flags using the following API's from mailutils... 


// this is for setting flag as read

mu_attribute_t attr = 0;
status = mu_message_get_attribute( msg, &attr );
mu_attribute_set_read( attr ); 
mu_attribute_destroy( &attr, NULL );

// after setting the status the mail looks like.......
Return-Path: <address@hidden>

// the following steps are for setting as unread
mu_attribute_t attr = 0;
status = mu_message_get_attribute( m_message, &attr );
status = mu_attribute_unset_seen( attr );
status = mu_attribute_unset_read( attr );
mu_attribute_destroy( &attr, NULL );

After Unset the mail looks like 

.........
.............
same as above...

Status : O


when I tried to find whether the flag is read or 

unread or seen .... etc ... using the API's




///an example method 

void getFlag ( char & flag )

{

....

.....

mu_attribute_t attr = NULL;

mu_message_get_attribute( msg, attr );

if ( mu_attribute_is_deleted( attr ) )

    {

        flag = 'D';

    }

    else if ( mu_attribute_is_read( attr ) )

    {

        flag = 'R';

    }

    else if ( mu_attribute_is_seen( attr ) )

    {

        flag = 'S';

    }

    else if ( mu_attribute_is_recent( attr ) )

    {

        flag = 'N';

    }


 cout << "Flag is :" << flag << endl;

}


Flag is : N  /// always same status, even after chaging the status using the above API's


though the mail was set Read, always 

mu_attribute_is_recent( attr ) is satisfied and returning the value 'N'

 ( for new mail ) in above example. and mu_attribute_is_read( attr ) was not at all satisfied! and returning
 'R' ( for read mail ) as status 

for the mail which was set Read already.


can anyone help me out ?


Thanks and regards
