Ok, but if I write my own MUA application? If different MUA use it's own encoding format I think it's bad, very very bad way. Because application can't decode keywords written by another application.
Can someone known a solution to this problem?

But I can't understand what encoding use dovecot for keywords? I set "тест" (number 5) keyword:
cat dovecot-keywords 0 &bcienqrbbeiepgqybdaetw-_&bdwenqrcbdoema- 1 test 2 $label1 3 $label2 4 $label3 5 &beienqq6beeeqg-
but "&beienqq6beeeqg-" do not convert to "тест". Why?
Because only mailboxes are encoded in Modified UTF-7. There is no equivalent encoding for keywords. Keywords are *not* meant to be directly viewable by an end-user. Converting between a keyword and the representation displayed to the user is the job of the MUA.
