Sound good. There was a discussion about user-defined flags in Gnus some time ago: . Simon wrote that Gnus already supports user-defined flags, but that there's no user interface available. - For IMAP, the label (or "flag" or "mark") should be stored on the server. There should be a mapping to a Gnus flag. - Labels should not be lost when the article is copied/moved to a local (nnml, nnfolder, nnmaildir, ...) group. Rmail also supports labels, see (info "(emacs)Rmail Labels"). Where it makes sense, we could provide a similar user interface.
