# `--upload-flags`

Specify additional behavior to apply to uploaded files. Flags are
specified as either a single flag value or a comma-separated list
of flag values. These values are case-sensitive and may be negated
by prepending them with a '-' character. Currently the following
flag values are accepted: answered, deleted, draft, flagged, and
seen. The currently accepted flag values are used to set flags on
IMAP uploads.
