Does Cyrus preserve flags when it does a COPY?

Hi,

RFC 2060 prefers, but does not require, that IMAP servers preserve flags
during copy operations. My experience (using the Mail::IMAPClient module) is
that it does not.

Does it?

Thanks,

Ian

6.4.7.  COPY Command

   Arguments:  message set
               mailbox name

   Responses:  no specific responses for this command

   Result:     OK - copy completed
               NO - copy error: can't copy those messages or to that
                    name
               BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid

      The COPY command copies the specified message(s) to the end of the
      specified destination mailbox.  The flags and internal date of the
      message(s) SHOULD be preserved in the copy.
