that's correct - imap specifies (and the maildir driver follows that as
well) that once delivered messages cannot be modified. the only
exception to that are the message flags.
Is there a way to force such a sync for all changed messages or even
for specific messages, even if the message stays in the same folder?
only indirectly: by making it a new message, so a deletion and a new
message are propagated. "edit" in mutt does exactly that.
you can achieve the same effect by renaming the file, either giving it
an entirely new name per maildir spec, or by stripping the ,U=xxx infix.
I want to change the message headers (of emails in my Inbox) to keep
track of tags and I want this info to be sync'ed back to my IMAP
server.
what do you use as "tags"?
there is a long-standing mbsync todo item to support imap keywords
(non-standard flags), but it's forestalled by there being no standard
for saving such info in maildir, which poses an obvious interoperability
problem.
