Hi Horacio,

The maildir branch currently only syncs the flags supported by the
maildir spec (by manipulating the file name, see "What can I put in
info?"[1]). These flags can be synced back to GMail or other mail
providers using offlineimap.

To sync arbitrary labels, we would probably have to modify the original
mail headers, like GMail seems to do with the X-GM-LABELS label (I only
looked at your code, I don't have a GMail account).

Gaute and Matthieu started gathering some ideas in the Wiki[2].

Cheers,
Eric
