I did some work to implement syncing custom flags support. So that you can have custom labels in addition to the 5 standard labels. The patch is at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211353 I tested it against a GroupWise IMAP implementation and it was working. IIRC, The only problem was all the flags were synced everytime instead of the newly set ones alone. And I needed to verify it was working with the rest of the IMAP servers. I stopped working on it because of personal reasons.
