Some background: Gmail seems to have an additional message view for IMAP, which can be different from the main message view.

Unfortunately, the above doesn’t work anymore.

Another oddity is that a star (favorite message) set via the web interface cannot be removed with the IMAP command

STORE <message number> -FLAGS (\Flagged)

On the other hand, a star set via IMAP is being shown in the web interface and can be removed via IMAP.
