Right now I've been playing with Thunderbird. It supports "arbitrary" IMAP keywords in version 2.0 with no extensions [1]. I can add a new keyword, and flag some emails with that flag. And I can see in my (toy-house) courier server IMAP that keywords are actually there. Alpine also supports them [2], and once you let it know about the "arbitrary" IMAP keywords you're using, it's able to see them, flag more emails with them, delete keywords from email, and create new "arbitrary" keywords and flag emails with them. I've been playing creating new keywords in one client, flag some emails, and looking for them in the other client (once I added that keyword to the client). And it works in both senses. With both clients I'm able to search emails by IMAP keywords, and create "virtual folders". Evolution also supports "arbitrary" IMAP keywords, but it messes up the server if other clients have modified them. I don't know if it's my server (courier) or the client's fault, but from the moment it looks like it only works if evolution is your only email client. I don't know if MS Outlook or Apple Mail support them. OK... Maybe "most" was not the best word; but at least 2 email clients support them. Anyway I think it'd be great that mutt supports IMAP keywords, and I hope someone will make it happen.
