How can I get a message's flag (Unread, Seen, Reply...) using Imaplib?

Assuming srv is an instance of IMAP4, and you want both flags and 
headers for messages 1 through 5 in the currently selected folder -
      status, result = srv.fetch('1:5', '(FLAGS RFC822.HEADER)')
Now you have in "result" a sequence of strings, with all the 
information you requested.  It's not broken up in the most convenient 
way for you -- you will need to use some string functions to extract 
the flags and everything.
