What kind of labels are we talking about?  Do you mean user-defined
message flags?  Or message/mailbox annotations?  A tcpdump log from
when you use this feature in Mozilla/Thunderbird might be useful.

User-defined message flags are possible today, if you know how Gnus
works internally, i.e., there is no user interface for it.  Perhaps it
would help if people could brainstorm on what the user experience
should be.
