I am not sure about ANNOTATE extension. The method below is supported on
all IMAP servers, including very old ones:

Apple Mail creates IMAP folder named "Notes".
Each message corresponds to a Note(Memo).
> From address is always owner's email
Subject is always the first line of the Note (Memo) text.
Body is full Note (Memo) text (all lines, including the first one).
If Note(Memo) is modified, original message is marked as deleted and one
with new contents is created.

Here are the headers:

From: 
X-Uniform-Type-Identifier: com.apple.mail-note
Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Notes 2.0 \(282\))
Date: 
X-Mail-Created-Date: 
Subject: 
X-Universally-Unique-Identifier: 
Message-Id:


The same folder format is used via ActiveSync protocol. Notes show up
identical in server UI and iOS device.

Please let me know where to file an RFE.
