is rumored to have said:</p>
<blockquote><p dir="auto">Whether tags transfer to another device depends on the IMAP server. This was discussed in the past. Tags are not native to IMAP and special keywords are used to pass them on. Unfortunately, not all server programs support them or support them fully.</p>
</blockquote><p dir="auto">It's worth noting that Hotmail/OutlookLive/MS365/ExchangeOnline is one of the IMAP implementations that skipped implementation of user-defined keywords, which MM needs for the feature it calls Tags. Also, GMail smudges together the concept of keywords with that of folders in a manner completely inconsistent with the IMAP specification, so there may be issues if your mail is there as well.</p>

<p dir="auto">I followed [these instructions](<a href="https://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2016-January/005542.html">https://lists.freron.com/mailmate/2016-January/005542.html</a>) on the forum from 2016 for “syncing” the settings between two devices (*i.e.*, copying the `.plist` files when MailMate is shut down on both devices). This worked for most things except that the messages I have tagged on the source device are still not tagged on the destination device. Do I need to copy over the Database folder or the Messages folder for that to work?</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>
