Probably. It might be better to introduce $Spam.private and $Spam.shared,
which are always private/shared. As a user, I would probably would like to now
if $Spam is shared or not.
Imagine that I've marked a message with $Spam (implemented as shared) and
somebody else has a different opinion.

(I know, this look exactly like an argument to use ANNOTATE).

Yes, that was my justification for having $NotImportant. The idea is that
$Important/$NotImportant is set automatically by the filter/message store
using one of the headers and the user can overwrite the value.
