METADATA help

[Marco]

Oh, I have found the solution!

It seems that in the annotation_definitions file the *name* of the 
third-party annotation MUST be down-case.

The RFC5464 says:

"Except as noted otherwise, all alphabetic characters are case-
    insensitive.  The use of upper or lower case characters to define
    token strings is for editorial clarity only.  Implementations MUST
    accept these strings in a case-insensitive fashion."

So this could be a bug...

Interesting this: if I define a downcase name in the file, then the 
GET/SETMETADATA works case insensitive as expected. But if the name in 
annotation file is uppercase, the imap metadata commands return NIL or 
Permission denied.

Kind Regards
Marco
