They're monitored. And most MUAs don't use Important, that's why we changed it in the first place.

(Copied from ~~Ticket #4867~~, it seems to us old resolved bugs are not monitored.) Changing the meaning of IMAP \FLAGGED flag was not a good idea. We have 50000 users that are used to the existing semantics. Almost all MUAs are rendering the flag as Important, and it shouldn't be changed too lightly. Furthermore, because someone has set the flag manually, the MUA shouldn't clear it. It seems like a bug to me. (If the flag was named plain "Flagged", users could give it their own interpretation. After all, that's the way IMAP has it.)
