I would highly appreciate if you at Dovecot could increase the priority of ANNOTATE in your roadmap.
ANNOTATE is something that I'd like to implement at some point, but it's also quite a large change and likely will have to wait until Dovecot v2.3.
Ideally, and of course, I speak from my personal point of view, annotations should be something, that SOLR would index according to its own mapping, which I am in control of.
Use case: incoming mails here are not directly answered in the MUA, but some third party software creates outgoing emails, with a formal yet unique subject; inbound messages could then be /tagged/ with the same identifier and a single search would yield the complete correspondenceā¦
Basically, adding a header to a message would do my job as well, but seems to contradict with what IMAP seems to be about: preserving messages unadulterated, which is a noble goal indeed.
OTOH, no hurry, client support of ANNOTATE is not there yet either (at least in Thunderbird).
