Description
Hey,
First of all: what a great job 👏; thank you, really : I'm actively de-Googling myself and my company thanks to your work.
Here are two-related features that I'm missing very much from Gmail:
- Assigning custom color to folders
Display folder(s) name next to the mail object, in the mails listing.
Something like that:

Why folders instead of tags, you may say? Folders are hierarchical. Period. I couldn't live without.
(By the way, it could be great to be able to customize tags color too 😉)
Are this features already on the roadmap, or may them have a chance to be considered?
Thanks again.
