ANNOTATEMORE extension supports per-mailbox annotations which you can use to

Like Arnt said, this won't happen. I don't think it's much of a problem just

Also I think creation date should be stored in Date header and last modified
date in INTERNALDATE. This allows using existing command to search either
one of them.
