Implement Email labels
Under Consideration
The webmail interface would be a lot more functional if it provided the possibility to assign labels/tags in addition to sorting emails in folders (e.g. like zoho mail). As labels are integral to my workflow, the lack of a labelling functionality is what currently prevents me from moving all my email communication to mailbox.org.
I like this idea 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
Labels are so much more flexible than folders. For instance, you can pin multiple labels on the same mail. Try doing that wit folders: you end up either copying mails, or don't remember in which possible folders you finally store your email.
Once you tried them, you can't make do without. I am surprised this isn't a feature already. Hopefully it will be soon

Yeah, this is a no brainer. We need labels. Like said, because you can stick more labels to one mail. But also because when you want to use the archive function you lose the folder structure so all sorts of mail are in one big list. Labels would create some structure in the archive folder.

Agreed, labelling (as per in gmail and protonmail) is essential for me
I cant seem to sort flags and stars easily (or obviously)
Please implement labels as its the only thing ruining the mailbox experience for me

Any plans for labels in the new upgrades?

Been trying out Mailbox. It's a nice service but the lack of labels are holding me back from switching. Labels are fundamental!

Migrating from Gmail, after 10 years using their labeling system, this is what is holding me back too.

I can leave without google labels... And I rediscovered the use of the Desktop Client, now I am using Mailbox only with Firefox, it is a nice experience and it gives me all the feature I need.

As workaround, I have created an address book per label and it is fine for me.

While I prefer folders to labels (and lack of them annoyed me with Gmail) there are certain areas where labels could help: imagin having a couple of domains - sorting mail to each folder is not the best way to differentiate those, labels would be perfect!
Could someone from the team shed a light wheteher this would be even considered to be on the roadmap?

Yes, labels are essential in my view, and also that they are visible per message in the message list.

I would also like to have Gmail-style labels. Adds a lot of flexibility. Hopefully, this is coming soon?

One more voice here: having labels would be great!

I second this.
IMAP Flags are also an ideal implementation, since these are used for labeling with - basically any other email service than gmail.
And IMAP Flags are already supported via your servers implementation.

That would be this ticket instead of another IMHO. This ticket / request (as I understand it) is not about the "flagged" or "colored flags" toggle-state (in the webclient).
The IMAP Flags (see: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3501#section-2.3.2 ) are the mechanism for a few things, used-defined keywords are one of them, "seen" and the flagging you're talking about too.
Your IMAP server supports user-defined keywords (saved in IMAP Flags). In short, IMAP Flags (the mail-server stuff) is the mechanism behind both "flagging", "colored flagging" and (user defined) keywords (/ labels) - the subject here.
The issue is that:
Hopefully this clarifies the issue...

Same here. Please implement labels.

Labels are awesome, but the only way to actually use them is the webclient, isnt it? Most clients just treat them as folders.
Unfortunanely the only mail client i know which is supporting labels is BlueMail, but they are no option for me because of their privacy policy. I think I have to wait until labels become more popular.

I think user 2891587 in their comment above provided perspective on what the main idea is here. It would seem the IMAP Flags, use of which are already implemented in the webclient filters interface, just need to be represented in the webclient inbox and message interfaces. Like the ability to pre-define the IMAP Flags that the user wants to use, then a menu of them to choose from with existing Flags displayed in the inbox and message interfaces. This seems like it would be the equivalent of Gmail-style labels (???)

5 years later and Mailbox.org is too busy playing around with Jitsi to focus on core functionality of their nameplate.

Too bad, Mailbox.org didn't get that implemented in over 5 years either. This is such a small but important feature to be able to work reasonably. Please write this on top of your ToDo. As soon as tags/labels are possible, I can finally get away from GMail. Annoying that I didn't check this before I paid two years in advance and started moving the mails.

I am now leaving mailbox.org because of this lack of functionality. I have been with them for three years and I don't have many complaints. It is a good, basic service, but I want to catch up with modern times. Their interface and underlying technology is not much different to the basic email services provided at the beginning of the internet. Lacking functionality like this becomes more apparent to my workflow each time I sit down to process emails. I've used Gmail for work and this labels give you so much more flexibility. Gmail are just ahead of the pack when it comes to user experience.

Also moving slowly to a competitor now because nothing has changed
