If I look at the label editing I don't see "Inbox" as one of them. I don't think those are labels at all, but instead are regular folders. If that is true, then there is no need to have rules for exclusivity. If you can see anything that implies that "Inbox" is actually a tag, let me know where to see it. > However, if we assume that we are not venturing any further than using > this for simply catching mutually exclusive state, then probably the > classic Folder approach will be just fine. My point really is this: tags are great, but not for this purpose. Having folders for the states (inbox, draft, failed, etc.) is useful, whereas tags for organizing messages is probably superior to using folders (and instead you use Smart Folders, which would probably simply equate to a Query in our case). I.e. both a are great for different things. /Rickard _______________________________________________ qi4j-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ops4j.org/mailman/listinfo/qi4j-dev
