That's a good alternative only if you have relatively few messages that
have many gmail labels assigned to them. Otherwise you end up syncing
the same messages many times through many IMAP folders (each
corresponding to one label).

My approach is basically to reproduce the gmail filters as saved
searches in emacs. The messages need not have tags. YMMV.
