Partially, other ones are storred in index files, which are lost, if you 
need to remove them because of an mailbox corruption.

See, IMAP ANNOTATE rfc5257:

"this can be used to attach comments and other useful
    information to a message.  It is also possible to attach annotations
    to specific parts of a message, so that, for example, they could be
    marked as seen, or important, or a comment added.
"

this seems to be the last post about it:

There probably is a working metadata plugin for Dovecot:

http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-metadata-plugin

this plugin seems to support annotatemore:
