Systems and methods relating to archiving a message in a message store and synchronizing the message store across multiple client devices of the same user are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a client device for archiving messages in a message store managed by a server comprises making a determination at the client device to archive a message that is stored in a first mailbox of the message store and, upon making the determination, sending an instruction to the server to set an Archived flag for the message. In this manner, the message is archived without copying or moving the message to a secondary mailbox, which in turn simplifies both the archiving process and subsequent synchronization across other client devices of the same user.

Archiving messages without message copying

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that enable a client device to efficiently identify mailboxes containing objects of interest in a server-based message store. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a client device comprises sending a single request to a server for a list of mailboxes maintained by the server for a user that contain objects flagged with any of one or more flags specified in the single request. The method of operation of the client device further comprises, in response to the single request, receiving, from the server, the list of mailboxes maintained by the server for the user that contain objects flagged with any of the one or more flags specified in the single request. The method also comprises processing the list of mailboxes. In this manner, the client device is enabled to quickly and efficiently identify which mailboxes of the user contain objects of interest.
