[Dovecot] keywords/flags questions

[Arnaud Abélard]

Hello,

I am currently using dovecot 2.0.13 and I have been working on keywords 
handling our webmail and I have a few questions about how dovecot 
handles them.

First, if I am not mistaken keywords neeed to be UTF-7 encoded. That 
means I need to encode special caracters using values between & and - 
chars. UTF-7 encoding is case sensitive, &AOA- isn't the same chars as 
&aoa-.  But docevot save keywords in lowercase or am I mistaken?

For example:
. STORE 1:1 flags &AOA-_refaire
* 1 FETCH (FLAGS (&aoa-_refaire))

This makes retrieving the keyword properly impossible. What did I miss?

My other question is about the permanent flags being displayed upon 
selecting a mailbox. I'm trying to understand why unused keywords are 
still showing up in there. Is there a way to force the definitive 
removal of a keyword from a mailbox? are old keywords kept undefinitely?

Thanks in advance,

Arnaud
