in each directory (folder) there is file .sylpheed_mark which is list
of integers (4 byte ones). first one is version. then pairs of message
number and flags follow:

VERSION
MSGNUM-1
FLAGS-1
MSGNUM-2
FLAGS-2
...
MSGNUM-N
FLAGS-N

flags are:

    NEW       if flag & ( 1 << 0 );
    UNREAD    if flag & ( 1 << 1 );
    MARKED    if flag & ( 1 << 2 );
    DELETED   if flag & ( 1 << 3 );
    REPLIED   if flag & ( 1 << 4 );
    FORWARDED if flag & ( 1 << 5 );

hope this helps :)

P! Vladi.
