14 Set or unset volatile metadata on messages. In JMAP terms, "volatile
15 metadata" includes "mailboxes" (analogous to a folder or label) and a
16 restricted set of "keywords". This supported keywords are the
17 combination of system keywords (seen, answered, flagged, and draft),
18 which map to Maildir flags and mbox Status/X-Status headers, as well as
19 reserved keywords (forwarded, phishing, junk, and notjunk).
20
21 To add a label or keyword, prefix it with "+L:" and "+kw:",
22 respectively. To remove a label or keyword, use "-L:" or "-kw:". For
23 example, "+kw:flagged" would set the "flagged" keyword for the
24 specified messages, and "-L:INBOX" would remove the "INBOX" label.

40 They must only contain lowercase characters, digits, and a limited
41 amount of punctuation (e.g. ".", "-", "@").
42

44
46 Keywords are "flags" in Maildir and IMAP terminology. Common keywords
47 include: "seen", "answered", "flagged", and "draft", though
48 "forwarded", "phishing", "junk", and "notjunk" are also supported.
49
50 When writing to various mboxes, the common keywords will be mapped to
51 the "Status" and "X-Status" headers.
