I have Thunderbird connecting to a Gmail account via IMAP, so Gmail labels show up as folders in Thunderbird. Moving items to folders in Thunderbird causes labels to be applied in Gmail.
However, Thunderbird also has its own tagging mechanism where you can apply a color code and tag by pressing keys 1-5 on a message. Is there any way to propagate these tags to corresponding Gmail labels?
can't this be achieved with a plugin? – None – 2011-02-28T23:02:05.137
2The fundamental difference is that gmail provides a many-to-many relationship between emails and labels. And what a concept. Very smart. A label could be a path (a folder), a degree of urgency (important), to-do, to-follow up, to trash, to archive or any concept. It is just a label or attribute of an email object. Then you can query based on such labels. – None – 2012-01-11T02:30:02.797
