Well, suppose I have a read messages filter for folder to move to some
archive folder. And sometimes I want some messages to remain in this
source folder for a while. I can park them. After I have no need for
them in source folder I can either unpark and refilter manually or
just manually move to the archive folder.
Almost the same case, I have a folder for notifications most of them
are week ahead, so I have set it up to keep messages for a week. Some
of them (very few, that's why I don't want separate folder for them or
to adjust keep messages term for folder) are longer so to have them
live until happening I just park them. In this case I don't see
difference between readonly and parked flag except if I will want to
rearrange folders. But I personally don't do it so frequently to make
me care for that.
