Re:Labels or Folders?

On: Free IMAP On Gmail

Let's think about the UNIX filesystem comparison :
it does everything :

- a file can exist (hard link) in more than one directory
- you can create a hierarchy of directories

so, to transpose the analogy to emails :

- messages are inodes
- tags/folders are directories

The only thing that's missing from Gmail is the ability to apply labels to labels and you can have the best of both worlds :-)

Being able to label a label is the same thing as creating a subdirectory in a UNIX fs

Try "Dominus" instead of "Magister".
"Magister" means "master" as in "teacher".

Where did you learn Latin? On MTV?

sum is singular, and mundi is a genitive in this case, not a plural ("of the world"). Although "Dominus" is a better choice in this case than "Magister".

"The Teachers are the worlds" would translate as :

Magistri mundi sunt.
