GMail's tags are great and are really changing the way people work with 
their mail and what they expect from their mail clients. (See the amount 
of request on Thunderbird's Bugzilla requesting the same feature in TB. 
:-) One snag is that there is no way to group tags or somehow organize 
them into hierarchies. I haven't really used it for large volume email, 
but I have this irrational fear that all too soon I will end up with way 
too many tags to handle in a flat namespace.
