Sure.  Although the default is not to allow the deleted flag to be set  
so this is probably why I haven't noticed this.

I have thought about this previously, but I'm not sure it's the best  
idea.  We have no way of knowing what non-standard RFC flags mean.   
Mappings for these non-RFC flags -> labels is MUA-specific.

I could see us adding an advanced option in the flag preference screen  
that would scan all mailboxes for available flags, present them to the  
user, and allow to set specific labels for any flags the user  
recognizes.
