[MlMt] Test version available: Support for tags using IMAP keywords

Do tags have to be mapped to IMAP keywords? Mapping them to existing 
IMAP keywords causes every message using that keyword to be given the 
tag. For me this is not a desired result.

Deleting a tag doesn't seem to totally work. I created a tag called 
"Billable" and initially mapped it to $hasTD, which was the only IMAP 
keyword which seemed to make sense for it. I then created a smart 
mailbox that would show messages with the Billable tag.

Then I discovered that every message with $hasTD got tagged with 
Billable and was displayed in the smart mailbox. I first attempted to 
unmap the tag, leaving the IMAP keyword field blank. This didn't change 
anything. Then I attempted to delete the tag and this caused MM to 
crash.

On reopening MM I was able to successfully delete the tag and I thought 
the smart mailbox would now be empty. But all the messages remained 
displayed in the smart mailbox, which indicates that the smart mailbox 
was not using my tag, but using the IMAP keyword.

So are tags just a way to render IMAP keywords useable (or not so 
useable in my case)?
