And not only those, but also application ones like $WATCHED and $TODO.

Furthermore, *there is synchronization with nepomuk tags happening*: I clicked
a bit on the statuses in the ‘Intelligent with clickable status’ message view
theme, and at some point a ‘Gewenste post’ (Dutch for Non Junk) appeared in my
tags (as viewed in the akonadiconsole), while $NonJunk appeared in the IMAP
label list. This behavior was very flakey: contradictory/unsynced tags and
labels existed for some time, at some point $Junk, $JUNK, $NonJunk, $NONJUNK
were all present as labels... (I'm on 4.12.5 still and Nepomuk indexing/tagging
is... not working that well; I hope that my distro moves to >=4.13 soon and
test this more deeply.)

So: it seems almost all the functionality that is needed is there, it ‘just’
needs to be extended to user-defined tags. My question for the developers is
again: am I correct in my assessment of the situation? Can we non-developers do
anything to enable implementation (like a small crowdfunding campaign to pay a
developer to create the necessary time needed)?
