They are saved in the local database index files only. In other words, 
they are *lost* if rebuilding the database and/or refetching emails from 
the server(s).

With the exception of Exchange IMAP (which have numerous other issues) I 
believe IMAP servers without some support for IMAP keywords is 
relatively rare.

I still have on my todo list to also add support for mapping tags to 
file attributes. If combined with improved robustness when MailMate 
needs to rebuild the database (or when some Exchange IMAP server 
suddenly decides to reset all its UIDVALIDITY values) then that would 
also make storing tags locally only more robust...
