Correct. 
But I'm missing why it is such a big issue.
The tags are stored in the mail index.

But what about us non-IMAP folks?


Honestly, I don't know much about this subject, other than the fact that
I like to be able to set custom tags and I really want to be able to have
virtual search folders representing a collection of messages belonging
to a custom tag.  And it would be great to be able to have similar tags
across the various PIM apps (knode, akregator, etc)
