Well, even if you cannot upload arbitrary annoations to the server it does not 
prevent you from uploading the individual mails/objects.

What about an "unknown" or "other" keyword in order to allow for this. It 
would then be the duty of the client to do the mapping e.g. using a "hidden" 
mail message.
