Filing emails based on tag

Tag based rule organization folder system All I need is a way to add extra tags to emails for organizing them in smart mailboxes. I want to tag each project with its name to track involved companies easily. Thunderbird has good tagging, but its UI and smart mailbox system aren’t as smooth as Mail. Mailbutler’s tags didn’t work as I hoped—I need emails in a folder, not just in the sidebar. Clicking to find tagged emails in the inbox felt confusing. For now, I’ve reorganized Mail’s built-in tags and will work within its seven-tag limit. I’ll keep an eye on Mailbutler for future updates.

I seriously need this too!

I'm also interested in a solution for this. Currently I'm not using tags (since Sonoma) as it's just to cumbersome and not practical to use the filtering in Mailbutler dashboard when I quickly want to scan emails with a specific tag. I've gone back to creating folders in the Mail app for now which is kind of sad but still more practical. I understand that this is difficult to solve now that Apple has blocked integration. But I'm really hoping for a miracle.

Absolutely second Peter's comments; Mailhub was far and away the most useful Mail plugin I ever used. John F

Hi Friedhelm! Thank you for your request, we will discuss internally possible options to add this functionality. Currently you can see all tagged emails (or notes/tasks/signatures/templates/contacts) by applying corresponding filter in the dashboard.

Mailbutler: Thanks for getting back to me. The really powerful thing about tags in Mac OS is that they can be used across multiple apps; it would be really good if your tagging implementation was compatible with Apple's native tagging system.
