        This message is seen. This flag is implicitly set by the implementation when the this Message's content is returned to the client in some form. The getInputStream and getContent methods on Message cause this flag to be set.

      • USER

        public static final Flags.Flag USER
        A special flag that indicates that this folder supports user defined flags.
