  I can't speak for the OP, but the "labels" paradigm that Gmail uses
can confuse, or cause suboptimal behavior, in many IMAP clients.
Clients tend to assume a message can exist in only one IMAP folder.
Or they try to enumerate the contents of "All Mail" and explode.

  This is arguably as much a client "problem" as Gmail's, but it's
good to be aware of.  Google documents this, more-or-less, in their
"Help".

  I guess there's actually a "labels" feature in newer IMAP specs, but
practically nothing implements it (including Gmail).  IMAP has always
been the problem child of the Internet mail protocol suite.  Too bad,
really; it's a wonderful concept.
