Currently there are some mails in my inbox.

'doveadm -f flow -v fetch -u spi 'flags uid' mailbox Inbox' shows

flags=\Seen uid=3
flags=\Seen $Forwarded uid=4
flags=\Seen NonJunk 3_warten uid=5
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=6
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=7
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=8
flags=\Seen uid=9
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=10
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=11
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=12
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=13
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=14
flags=\Seen NonJunk uid=15
flags=\Answered \Seen uid=18
flags=\Seen uid=28
flags=\Seen uid=29
flags=\Seen NonJunk 3_warten uid=102


My client receives from dovecot the following list:

b select inbox
* FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk $Forwarded
3_warten 1_aktuell 2_projekt 4_irgendwann)
* OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft NonJunk
$Forwarded 3_warten 1_aktuell 2_projekt 4_irgendwann \*)] Flags permitted.


Please seaa for the [1-4]_.* keywords - only 3_warten is used in the
inbox, but dovecot sends more. I had even a longer list, that's why I
deleted the index files.

To deal with that there are two options - a fixed list on the client
with the disadvantage of missing new keywords.

A defined list on the server - with the downside of the user being
unable to add new keywords.

So I thing both are somehow needed - a current list sent by dovecot and
pre-defined list omm the client.
