Labels were a pretty simple yet novel concept for categorizing mail which i seldom see in any other provider, sadly.
Incidentally the same labels make Gmail fundamentally incompatible with the way IMAP works causing lots of weirdness whenever you use any standard email client not specifically designed for Gmail.
Proton has labels & folders both.
Proton's labels implementation sucks though. I can't filter by two labels for example, like "Credit Card" & "Statements". Kinda makes labels the same as folders... I don't really see a point in it
My free Bluebottle account had tags, which are basically labels, but that was like 100 years ago.
Fastmail has them, they’re better than gmails and they import cleanly once you migrate away from gmail.
Yup, it's now the #1 feature I want w/ my current service: Tuta.
I currently filter into folders, which works, but it makes the UX a bit clunky. I hope they add it soon (or maybe I'll try my hand at it since it's FOSS).
