Remarks
To examine folder flags, the developer can use DownloadFolders(Boolean, String, String) method to obtain the collection of folders, and then iterate through returned collection and examine Flags property value for each Folder object in the collection.

Some flags which denote well-known folder types (like Sent, Drafts) can only be returned in response to XLIST command (only supported by some servers) or by the server which supports SPECIAL-USE extension. Gmail supports both XLIST and SPECIAL-USE (although it does not actually advertize SPECIAL-USE support in the capabilities). See UseXList property for details.

Standard LIST command will return flags for well-known folder types only if SPECIAL-USE extension is supported by the IMAP server. LSUB command (list subscribed folders only) MAY return these extended flags if SPECIAL-USE is supported (Gmail does, for instance) but it's up to the server implementation.

HasChildren and HasNoChildren flags can only be returned if the server supports CHILDREN extension. Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft (Outlook.com, Hotmail.com, Live.com) and most other major providers support it.
