Thanks Benny for taking a break from vacation to answer :-)

Ok. I must be dense. I have defined 2 tags: ToDo 
and ToRead. I select a message in the mailbox. It 
is highlighted purple. I hold the shift key and 
press t and... nothing happens. No text field is 
provided for entering tags. If I press t again 
(without shift), the selection changes color of 
the msg highlight from purple to dark gray. The 
same happens if I highlight another msg and type 
t without shift. I checked that the tags editor 
shortcut is capital t, though.

When the msg is highlighted gray not purple and I 
type another t, I get a little popup on the 
bottom of the page, which shows the defined tags, 
one being highlighted. I can move the highlighted 
from one tag in the popup to the other or even 
unselect it or select both, but no matter what I 
tried, I do not change the current tags settings, 
neither add nor remove (I have added a column 
that displays tags).

I tried typing the whole name of the tag, which 
does not seem to do anything, although once a 
while I get a dialog asking me to create a new 
tag called odo or oread (yes, the tag name I 
typed less the first letter).

I once managed to assign the ToDo tag to a 
message but I have no idea what I did 
differently. I must be missing something very 
obvious since apparently others are using tags 
successfully.

It would have been so much simpler if the right 
mouseclick on a msg included an item Toggle Tag 
with submenu listing all defined tags, like it 
does it for the Junk State. I see no problem 
having to go to prefs to create new tags. 
Similarly for colored flags: an item Assign Flag 
with submenu listing flag colors (plus none). 
That item could replace the Mark as Flagged item, 
which seems to always assign the red flag.

The manual mentions nothing about removing tags. Is it even possible?

I was looking in the Activity Viewer not logs. 
Where are the logs? I don't see Mailmate in the 
Console app.
