Thanks, that not only copied the list of pre-defined tags to my
preferences (which I expected), but it also restored the tags on my
messages in all my accounts but one, which was a pleasant surprise! So
now I assume that one account doesn’t allow the client to store the
IMAP keywords on the server. Is there any way to pull the tags off the
messages on my old laptop and apply them to the new one?
Thanks.
