You can label emails in Apple mail, or you can put them into folders,

Labels are different than folders.  Multiple labels can be assigned to
the same message and the label can be colored to your desire, thus
making it easily recognizable when the filter has assigned that label
and it's sitting unread in your Inbox.  Labels are a far more elegant
way of sorting your messages.  Of course you won't agree because you've
never used them to their full extent.  Also I've been a Gmail user
since the days it was invitation only and I'm not switching now.

I love the Gmail way of labelling emails.  It's true that in iOS Mail, as in many other mail clients, including Thunderbird on Windows and elsewhere, those labels are mapped to folders, but with labels visible on each email you can see ALL of the folders in which it occurs without searching.  The reason I use the Gmail app as opposed to Mail is absolutely because of the visibility of the Gmail labels.  If Mail could do that, I'd change over to it in a heartbeat.
