[Design] Chandler IMAP folders and the mail-stamp

[Mimi Yin]

Hi Andre,

I think there are some compelling use cases for preserving mail-ness  
on task items, if only as a way to identify and record who the task  
is associated with (e.g. My aunt wants me to, My boss wants me to,  
etc.).

A preference would be good.
A way for users to define custom behaviors for their own IMAP folders  
would be even better.

Would multi-select and unstamp a whole bunch of items at once ease  
your pain as a more realistic near-term stop-gap measure?
