[MlMt] Tag disappears after a few seconds of being set by a mailbox rule

[Eric Sharakan]

So you're saying certain IMAP keywords are fine and others disappear 
after a few seconds?  That is odd behavior indeed.  It's quite possible 
this is happening on the server side, and is not an issue with MailMate. 
  Some IMAP servers are just better than others WRT supporting 
user-specified IMAP keywords.

Benny mentions some of this here: 
https://manual.mailmate-app.com/organize

If you have more than one email account with different providers, you 
can see if the problematic tags behave differently with an alternate 
provider.  That would at least tell you whether it's a MailMate issue or 
something on the server side.

Also, are you running any local IMAP servers, or have any other 
non-standard email setup configuration?
