METADATA is simply about adding simple key=value pairs to mailboxes. So you could have something like:

/shared/keywords/$Label1 = Important /shared/keywords/$Label2 = Work /shared/keywords/HelloWorld = Hello World messages

Probably it wouldn't need to be any more complex than that. The clients would then handle adding/changing/removing those keywords.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5464 describes METADATA.

Thanks a lot. Any idea when METADATA will have a full implementation in Dovecot? Them along with virtual folders might make it easy to build a Gmail-like system.
