Local access to a maildir folder does not accept keywords because these 
were not part of the original specification of the Maildir format.

There are extensions of the Maildir format, such as those implemented in 
the Dovecot server, that accept keywords for messages in a maildir format. 
That might be a way to get keywords into your messages in that folder.
