Are the $Labels listed in X-IMAP or X-IMAPbase header in the first mail?
Well, there is an X-IMAPbase header in the first message, but it does not seem to change when I diddle with Thunderbird's labels.
So, before I did anything, with thunderbird closed:
gruizade@csefast(pts/0):~ 49 > echo $MAIL
/var/spool/mail/gruizade
gruizade@csefast(pts/0):~ 50 > cp $MAIL inbox.backup
/var/spool/mail/gruizade' -> inbox.backup'
gruizade@csefast(pts/0):~ 51 > diff inbox.backup $MAIL
That diff verified that my copy is the same as my inbox.
Then I opened thunderbird, and applied $Label1 through $Label5 to the first five messages, respectively. I then told Thunderbird to compact all folders, and then quit. Then I tried to see what changed:
gruizade@csefast(pts/0):~ 52 > diff inbox.backup $MAIL
Diff told me, sadly, that nothing changed in my inbox. Thunderbird, though, seems to think the messages are still tagged, which leads me to believe the tagging is somehow cached either in Thunderbird, or somewhere else. I have no idea where that somewhere else would be, though, because Thunderbird on _another_ machine will pick up the labels, but no idea from where!
Both before and after I applied the labels, my X-IMAPbase header looked like:
X-IMAPbase: 1129222811 0000045702 $NotJunk JunkRecorded NonJunk $Label3 Junk $Label1 $Label2 $Label4 $Label5
It only seems to change when messages are added or removed from the inbox, and the only part that changes is the second number (last UID?) As messages are read, Status and X-UID headers are added/updated properly, though.
Try this manually:
MAIL=~/mail /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap x select mailbox x store 1 +flags test x fetch 1 flags x logout
Does the "test" keyword get added to mbox either?
Here's the session:
gruizade@csefast(pts/8):~ 25 > setenv MAIL ~/inbox.backup;
? /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap

Looking in the mailbox after this test, there is indeed an X-Keywords header:
X-Keywords: test
Yet, no matter which Thunderbird I try to use, on which platform, this doesn't happen.
So, I'm really confused now.
