Store One or More Flags on a Single Message

Demonstrates the Chilkat Imap.StoreFlags method, which sets or clears one or more flags on a single message identified by ID. The first argument is the message ID, the second (bUid) selects UID vs sequence number, the third is a space-separated list of flag names, and the fourth is the value (1 to set, 0 to clear). This example applies the Seen and Flagged flags to one message by UID.

Background: StoreFlags is the single-message counterpart to SetFlags and lets you change several flags at once by listing them space-separated (without leading backslashes). Because the ID can be either a UID or a sequence number, the bUid argument must match how you obtained it — a UID from a UID search, or a sequence number from a sequence-based operation. UIDs are the safer choice since they remain valid as the mailbox changes.
