I've marked several messages in Thunderbird using tags. Tags used are:

The messages so tagged appear to have the flag fields set in the IMAP
Maildir:

cur/1449001929.28087_0.mail:2,Sad

I've looked in dovecot-keywords and find:

$ more dovecot-keywords
0 $label1

I assume these "$label" values are macros that possibly refer to
"Important", "Work", etc., but
where are these $label's defined? Are they defined in the dovecot
configs somewhere or does the
mail client just "know" what these correspond to?

The latter, see
http://superuser.com/questions/983401/import-export-or-retrieve-thunderbird-tags-from-imap-server

IMAP flags are annoying since they are limited to a subset of ASCII (e.g. no spaces), thus the need to do flag mappings on the client side.
