Removing star via IMAP

+1 vote

I'm having an issue hopefully you would be able to help.

I am trying to flag an email as starred. This works fine using the FlagMessageByUID(myUID, Flag.Flagged) method.

The problem is that I cannot find a method for removing this flag. I have tried with FlagMessageByUID(myUID, Flag.Unflagged), but this doesn’t seem to remove the flag and the email remains starred in Gmail.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Use Imap.UnflagMessageByUID.

Negative flags, like Flag.Unflagged, should not be used with Imap.FlagMessageByUID and Imap.UnflagMessageByUID.
