Currently everything is stored in the xapian database that stays local
to sup. On the maildir-sync branch, only the following flags are
exported [0].

That means that you have two sets of labels, the ones on the IMAP
server and the others in sup. Usually offlineimap will create a
Maildir source per IMAP label (at least with gmail) so it is easy to
add them separately in sup and auto-apply rules for each (such as
apply a label, archive messages from this source, etc.) so it is not
too painful.

Yep, that's my case.
