Although this list is pretty short recently I got a list of around 30 keywords presented - just because dovecot collected them over time and reported them back to the mail client.
What would happen if the list is full and the user needs to change a
keyword?
The maximum limit is pretty large, so it's unlikely you end up with that many keywords.
Hm, that scares me as after some time users get hit by dozens of
keywords, most of them not in use anymore. That's what happened to me
and that's why I started this discussion.
I understand that the mail client needs to support the definition of
(user) keywords, but it seems to me that there needs to be some 'garbage
collection' process on dovecot to clean up keywords.
(My first thought was "how many users may there be who flag incoming e-mails with the due date for the request contained in them, rather than using a separate calendar or to-do-list application?" ...)
