That would be efficient.
It does have some drawbacks:
* Ticking/caching¹ will be separate for the original email and the
copies in the label-groups
* Marks of other kinds will be separate (the "A"nswered possibly
being quite important to the user/me :-))
* It is not easy to see what other labels the email you're reading
has.
* It is slightly more work to add an email to several labels (copy
several times)
* It is more work to change the labels under which an email is filed
(instead of editing one email, I need to find all the copies and
delete the ones that aren't relevant).
There are probably other things I haven't thought of (good and bad).
Best regards,
Adam
¹ I often abuse caching for adding emphasis to my normal ticking of an
article, so "! Blah blah" is an email I need to handle at some
point, while "!* Bleh bleh" is an email I need to handle soon.
