Google mail IMAP flags

I have noticed IMAP allowes to modify some parts of a message. Specified in RFC-3501

A flag can be permanent or session-only on a per-flag basis.

We have 6 speficied flags to set on existing emails:

While debugging throu the Java-Mail system using a gmail-account I found further flags like:

Quesion:

Where is NonJunk defined? Are there more flags? Is there any official documentation? Shall we request further flags for addition into the specification?

First, I'm 100% sure that you mean IMAP and not SMTP.

\NonJunk is a user-defined flag, although most clients I've seen tend to use $Junk and $NonJunk (or sometimes $NotJunk), but other clients use Junk and NonJunk (or sometimes NotJunk). And sometimes clients will also use a third flag, $JunkRecorded or JunkRecorded.

As you can probably guess by now, there is no standard for this. It's just every-client-for-itself.
