I think that the patch you sent was not the latest version. The latest
is in id:1265122868-12133-1-git-send-email-sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz, but it
is not rebased to the current master.

I do not use this patch right now, since I didn't find time to apply it
on top of my mailstore abstraction patches. What I remember from when I
used it is, that it was really problematic with mail sent by me to
mailing lists. There were two version of the message - one in sent
folder and one in list folder - and the "folder tag" was not assigned
deterministically.

I think that now I know how to implement this correctly, I only need
some time. Also, the problem is very similar to synchronization of
maildir flags to multiple files, which is what I'm solving right now. So
probably, after I finish maildir flag synchronization I can work on this
patch.
