| Feb 20, 2017 at 22:39 | comment | added | John Smith | I would love an answer to this. Labels were ok a couple of years ago, but as my saved emails have grown in number, having things in multiple labels has become a major pain and I'd like to find all emails that have two or more labels so I can clean them up. | |

| Nov 5, 2010 at 7:22 | comment | added | Ivan | @senseful "so your message will appear in both, but it won't be a duplicate" - but what, for example, if I move a message from one folder (in the IMAP client) to another already containing that message? Or if I want to delete a message, not just remove a particular label? | |
| Nov 5, 2010 at 7:17 | comment | added | Ivan | @doug-harris, no, I love labels and use them extensively, but there seem to be no offline email client liking them as well and supporting them any close to perfect. And I want my email client and server to speak one language and understand things the same. | |
| Nov 5, 2010 at 7:16 | comment | added | Ivan | @ryan-thompson, I am really (extremely) tight on bandwidth - that's why I want offline mail. And I really can't stand any crapyness - that's why I don't want to allow any misunderstanding between my email client and server. | |
| Nov 4, 2010 at 21:29 | comment | added | Senseful | @Doug: I think he's trying to use them as folders for compatibility reasons with the other mail client (e.g. Thunderbird). Although from what I remember, Google's IMAP feature will allow you to treat folders as labels (even if your email client doesn't support it), so your message will appear in both, but it won't be a duplicate. | |
| Nov 4, 2010 at 20:44 | comment | added | Doug Harris | I think you're missing the point of labels. A big benefit of labels is that you can have more than one. You don't need to decide if an email from John about homework for physics goes into the "homework" folder or the "John" folder or the "physics" folder. | |
