Well, there isn't any simple way to do this. Either you'd have to change
the Dovecot's code to hardcode the "M" flag in there (maybe not too
difficult), or you could try using Dovecot's keywords instead. The
keywords use letters a..z in the filename, so you could set eg. "a"
instead of the "M", and make sure each mailbox has dovecot-keywords file
with the first keyword being set to "newsletter".

Hmm. I assume you meant anyway that this flag should show up to IMAP
clients in some way?
