Bug Description

vm-save-buffer, which is bound to \C-x\C-s, is not IMAP folder aware.

If you set a label on a message in an IMAP folder, then vm-save-buffer
and kill the buffer, the label is lost. vm-save-folder should be used instead.

Suggest removing vm-save-buffer or just having it call vm-save-folder.

What if your network connection is down and you have to shut down the machine?

There is an in fact an operation for just this situation: C-u M-x vm-imap-synchronize. This writes all the attributes & labels from the local cache into the server.
