I love the Gmail way of labelling emails.  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.
