This is pretty much the expected behavior. I've thought about this before though and there are a few things related to this in my TODO list:

Hello Timo, thanks for the answer. The reason for my question was, that we are working on a webmail frontend where we want to present the user a dropdown menu with his used keywords. For that we considered just using the keywords in the server response when selecting a folder. I think as a workaround we will have to add an additional search for each keyword.

• After reaching a certain number of keywords, the oldest unused ones should be removed. Especially with Maildir where the limit is 26, but perhaps others could also try to avoid allocating extra bytes for them in index file.
• Maybe instead of, or in addition to the above, remove keywords automatically that haven't been used for n days.
• Add a way to explicitly add/remove keywords (IMAP extension?)

That is what i was looking for while reading the RFCs and didn't find anything.

Thanks, Oliver Eales
