Yes, but it makes one of the fundamental actions in the Gmail e-mail paradigm easier, and more noticeable. Despite the terminology conflict, any Gmail user will recognize the folders as being Gmail tags, and would be looking for a way to add tags or remove tags. At the very least, having some way to easily add what Gmail calls tags to a message would be quite desirable.

Exactly.

That would work. I have a slight preference for the context sensitive labels, but that is just me.

Reasonable enough. It may be nice if the label on the button changed while holding down 'ctrl' so people could have a chance to discover this feature without just hearing about it.
Did you have an comments on making the exisitng spam filter optional for Gmail. (Gmail's spam filters are so good, they are all most people would ever need, so the local one would probably just get in the way). Or about having the (un)mark as spam feature integrate with the Imap spam folder. (So there is a button that a user can push to easily let Gmail know a message is (not) spam).
What about my assessment of the sent items folder and drafts folder?
