IMAP does not support general metadata for emails (or most servers 
don't). The only type of metadata is IMAP keywords which MailMate, 
naturally, uses for its tags. (The exception is MS Exchange for which 
tags are therefore local-only.)

In other words, the action to tag a message will continue to be the only 
way to color/style messages. Note that colors can be assigned to the 
submailboxes within the Tagged mailbox.

Agreed, the submailboxes above do not have icons and it's therefore not 
easy to see the color assigned (without opening the menu).

The other problem is if a tag is removed from all emails then its color 
is lost. This is a minor bug.
