Ok, I've checked the specifications. It would in fact not be much of a 
problem to have an alias called 'imapflags' for the imap4flags 
extension, but only if your clients do not use the obsolete mark/unmark 
commands. Could you confirm this for me?

Check this for documentation on that these commands did:

http://tools.ietf.org/draft/draft-melnikov-sieve-imapflags/draft-melnikov-sieve-imapflags-03.txt

This specification is almost nine years old. :)
