what we need IMHO is something akin to an annotation facility in IMAP and/or POP, that stores the annotations separately from the actual message.

Strongly agree.

IMAP has such a facility as a draft (with implementation experience). POP has nothing AFAIK. Webmail services have whatever they want to implement.

So, any mail server which offers multiple access vectors can provide access to the same annotations via each protocol.
