Description

RFC3501 disallow setting the \RECENT flag via the STORE command. At the moment we just ignore it when parsing the STORE command. We should better return a tagged BAD response if we detect that the client tries to set the \RECENT flag. That is what dovecot does:

C: a store 1:* FLAGS \RECENT
S: a BAD Invalid system flag \RECENT
