It's true that in iOS Mail, as in many other mail clients, including Thunderbird on Windows and elsewhere, those labels are mapped to folders, but with labels visible on each email you can see ALL of the folders in which it occurs without searching. The reason I use the Gmail app as opposed to Mail is absolutely because of the visibility of the Gmail labels. If Mail could do that, I'd change over to it in a heartbeat. -- Wilf
