It would be very useful to have more than just 5 mail "labels". I am a
developer, and I get lots of project-related mail for one of the larger projects
I work on. For patches, I like to be able to label patches in the "Patches"
folder as either "Applied", "Pending Discussion", or "Will Not Be Applied". For
CVS commit logs, I like to be able to label them as "Reviewed" (Quality
Control....), or "Reverted" if they were later reverted, to make going through
old commit logs faster. For bugs, I like to be able to mark them as "Fixed" or
"Important", etc. I have tons of uses for these labels.. there should be an
option to allow for more of them.

I agree, more than 5 labels would be good and AFAIK also easy to implement.
The problem is, that there's only room for at most 7 labels in the
X-Mozilla-Status2 header:
1	0x02000000
2	0x04000000
3	0x06000000
4	0x08000000
5	0x0A000000
6	0x0C000000
7	0x0E000000
