You said you wanted to apply multiple tags to a given email message. So you would bookmark a message, and apply whatever tags you wanted to the bookmark. The bookmark gives you a way to tag the message. Anything you can bookmark you can tag (indirectly), by tagging the bookmark. In addition to grouping by common tag (e.g., all `family' messages), you can group bookmarks in multiple other ways (including bookmarking a group of bookmarks!). Tags and other ways of grouping let you organize things - any kind of things that you can bookmark. And you can create new bookmark types for things that you cannot bookmark out of the box.
