Sharing a Maildir with a dovecot server, it can append custom lower letter Maildir flags such as :2,aS.
We don't play nice with that, failing to sync this to the IMAP server on the other side (we don't support that), the subsequent sync will then simply delete the custom "a" flag.

We need to devise a strategy on how to deal with that. Should we a) simply ignore all lower letters and keep them?, should we try to 2) sync the flags to the server as an actual IMAP flag? Is that possible? And what if the server cannot store such flags?
