Somewhat more generic mailbox tags would be useful. So I could configure
my IMAP client to show a view of only mailboxes related to e.g. "work",
"mobile", etc. This could be done generically by assigning some metadata
tags to mailboxes and having a LIST command that supports filtering
using metadata. Of course clients would have to support it also somehow.
