I'm not fond of it, mainly because it's so IMAP-specific, and the idea

(we do, so we could do this, but...).

It seems to me that since we agree that fileinto is useful to have in the base Sieve spec (despite being unable to be executed by the server in a POP environment), that having setflag would also be useful. On the other hand, I can think of some IMAP servers where Sieve can be implemented, including fileinfo, but where setflag couldn't be done, at least without changing the server's plug-in API.
