Hi,
Fastmail introduces support for labels ([link][1]). It appears that
labels are supported by the new protocol they worked on, [JMap][2].
Otherwise over IMAP I think that labels are exposed as regular
folders, just like email.
I wonder if something can be done in Mailmate, if not for then JMap,
then at least the ability to map “Tags” to folders, just like we
can for Gmail labels. When I tried it yesterday, it didn’t seem to
work, the mechanism seems to be specific to Gmail.
Mildly off-topic, but, I did submit a support request for the Fastmail
label "beta" that they make *their* protocol support IMAP tags/labels.
Their back-end IMAP environment already correctly supports IMAP tags,
and there may be others who would prefer to see their "labels" inherit
(optionally) the already-existing tags that customers may have created.
It would save a lot of work and add some great functionality to their
UI/front-end, I feel.
They shrugged a bit at my request, but, perhaps if others ask for it,
they'll consider it.
(Which isn't to say I wouldn't like to see JMAP get a bit of traction
and supported by other clients, but, that hasn't quite happened yet.
Probably a bit of chicken/egg going on.)
Scott
