Ah, I believe that's exactly what I'm looking for. Now I'm wondering what clients support IMAP keywords (the only one I currently know of is Pine).

Also, for those that don't support it (AFAIK, this includes mutt and TBird), are there any workarounds (e.g., making these collections of keywords appear to the client as a collection of traditional folders)?

Lastly, is there a standardized naming scheme for IMAP keywords? In particular, I'm wondering how hierarchies of keywords are represented (e.g., "/Friends/" and "/Friends/Joe Schmoe/")? And can these have keyword strings contain spaces in them?

Instead of using separate mailboxes (there is no such thing as "folder" in IMAP), perhaps you may want to use IMAP keywords?
