I see that eMclient supports Gmail labels, both using the folder kluge mapping, and as eMclient tags. Great!
Unfortunately, eMclient seems to get very slow when trying to display my list of ~300 tags
- select message
- AppsKey or Right Click => menu
- Tag
- => a menu, with a “Search in Tags” text box, the tags that sort earliest, and a More item to get the full list of tags.
Clicking More stalls for circa 10 seconds, occasionally much more, before displaying the list of tags.
Entering a search item gives similar delays.
These stalls are excessive, and make it extremely hard to use tags.
It appears that eMclient is not really capable of handling my almost 300 Gmail labels.
Please don’t tell me to use fewer tags/labels. my Gmail dates back many years, and I frankly don’t have time to change it right now just to be able to evaluate eMclient.

Microsoft Surface Book 3, Windows 10 Pro,
Process Intel(R) Core™ i7-1065G7 CPU @ 1.30GHz (much higher in turbo)
32GB DRAM,
Comcast broadband, 100 Mbps DSL reports just now (Dang, should be getting 1Gbps)
—+ Background
E.g. I have several Defer label-tags: Defer, Defer/Briefly, Defer/Soon, Defer/Urgent, Defer/Someday
E.g. I have several Retention tag-labels: Retain, Retain/Keep-Forever, Retain/Deletable, Retain/Keep-7-years, etc.
E.g. I have quite a few Project and topic tag-labels, like riscv, riscv/vectors, etc.
E.g. heck, I might as well admit that I have almost 300 label-tags in Gmail that have accumulated over the years, some of which look like ZZ-old/_older/… I really need to clean these up, but I am reluctant to just discard the email and labels.
