Looks like the interpretation of labels is not standardized across MUAs. That's too bad. For Gmail the term "label" labels are used to approximate the usual meaning of "folders" in other MUAs. In fact Gmail's implementation of IMAP presents Gmail labels as folders to the client. This means that messages with multiple Gmail labels will appear in multiple folders in the MUA interface. Every Gmail message as at least one label: All Mail, and may have others such as Inbox. I think Fastmail IMAP works in a similar way. Evolution's labels are simply tags applied to messages and are entirely optional. They have no relationship with folders and are intended for marking messages as Important, TODO, etc. They appear as a coloured flag in the message index. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
