Defines the standard (system) flags which can be set or examined for mail messages in the folder.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
To examine flags of an existing message (or messages), the developer can use DownloadEnvelopes method setting Flags bit in parts parameter value. Then, the developer should iterate through the returned EnvelopeCollection and examine Envelope.Flags property value. This property returns MessageFlagSet object which represents all flags of the message including both system flags and non-standard flags.
System flags can be examined via SystemFlags property of MessageFlagSet object.
To set specific system flags for messages, the developer can use SetMessageFlags method.
See MessageFlagSet topic on more information regarding message flags.
