Hi,
Non-standard fields are mentioned here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir and they are stated as currently not used.
Questions: like fields in the base filename? Like:
- am I right that if they will be used, they will be key=value pairs,
1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,X=12,A=something- or are they supposed to be flags, like: 1035478339.27041_118.foo.org,S=1000,W=1030:2,S,ABCD
- are there any plans to utilize these?
Thanks,

I think both would work.

No. Other Maildir tools would probably break if they were used. Dovecot's extra maildir metadata is placed to dovecot-uidlist file.

That's why I'm asking, I don't want to write a tool, which will break with a future Dovecot version. But if you won't introduce these, it's fine. :)
