While it was painful, I am glad I am no longer using labels, and I have no intention to start using them again. I vastly prefer being able to rely on the basic email client functionality in any given mail app, and using goofy nonstandard parts like snooze and labels makes that difficult.&lt;p&gt;I appreciate that with JMAP, FastMail has essentially become the first entity to do labels correctly, with a freaking standard behind it, but client support isn&amp;#x27;t going to be there for many years so I will avoid it. The big upside for me is it&amp;#x27;ll take away one reason people say they can&amp;#x27;t leave Gmail.</text></comment>

You enable the labels beta function on the beta website, but then it applies even on the main website.</text></comment>
