[MlMt] search for different Flags

[aisrael]

I can’t explain why you got 436 tagged emails after tagging one, but 
regarding tag transfer through the server, according to Benny it should 
work for most email severs, except for Exchange-based (which is 
unfortunately my case). If it does not work for you, and you are not 
using Exchange, Benny may be able to debug it.
