       The xlist-flag settings existed for a while in Cyrus IMAP 2.4, for setting special-use  style  flags  for
       particular  folder  names  (on  a  server-wide  basis).   This  was  deprecated  at  some  point with the
       introduction of RFC6154.

       The cvt_xlist_specialuse tool was introduced in Cyrus IMAP 3.0 to aid administrators  in  upgrading  from
       older deployments where xlist-flag settings had been in use.
