Ah-so deska.

No, I haven't used Watch Folders. I understood this wish as a
multiple-value flag.

OK. I have not used Watch Folders, but assume that this is based on
mids.

Yes, I understand this. But there must be an algorithm that allows TB
to determine what message should be assigned to which label/bookmark.
I wouldn't want this to be the mid, but a label I set manually. That
must therefore be a multi-value label. Hence my remark.

How do you want this to work technically, if not via a multi-value
label? I may not be getting what you are driving at.
