I don't really like mapping 'Red' to 'Important', etc.

Given that we support arbitrary labels on both sides, I think the best
solution is to synchronise the set of labels. If we see a label on an
Exchange message which isn't already known in Evolution, *add* it to
Evolution's list. And if we're trying to add a label to an Exchange item
which isn't already known on the Exchange side, add it there too.
