Fine! So, I'll merge this topic as soon as documentation is added. :-)

Ok.

Keywords aren't supported at all. Doing IMAP -> Maildir is the easy part
of the full sync.

Unknown mappings can easily be discarded (if code is not already there).

For IMAP -> Maildir, we have to check if the remote will support each
keyword. IOW, honor PERMANENTFLAGS.

Next, we'll want to check if the quick sync will consider keywords as
expected.
