I haven't looked at your code, but struct mail always has a transaction
(mail->transaction). You could fail the transaction by hooking into
transaction_commit and calling rollback if your internal failure-flag
was set.

But that sounds a bit extreme. Aren't you just adding/removing a single
keyword? If so, you can use mail_update_keywords() to just add/remove
that without reading/touching other keywords.
