Managing Mail Labels
-
I use labels to manage my inboxes across Vivaldi Mail. These labels relate to projects or initiatives which end. How do I manage the labels - i.e. edit a name so it can be re-used or delete the label from the list of available labels?

@DerekLees I use labels ~ same way. To answer your question, you can take either approach based on your need. For ex if you wanted to maintain a label for any expired or completed project, just create a new one. OTOH if you use labels simply to gather and eventually delete the items gathered in those folders, then you might save the label for another project.
Then there are special folders to hold old projects in a specialized archive. And any email account you can create one of these folders and any email could be moved to one of these folders, thus clearing your inbox & label folders but still maintaining a record out of the way.

@janrif I have been away so sorry for delayed reply. I have about 12 email accounts to monitor for different organisation and charities so using labels is good to highlight synergies within the email, but I cannot move any email onto another server or download it as I would be contravening UK//EU law, especially as some of the content contains enough information to identify people.. I will hope that managing labels males it into a sprint soon

@DerekLees as @janrif said at the moment the workaround to rename the label "Foo" into "bar" is to do these steps:
- Have some emails with label "Foo".
- Create a second Label "bar"
- In the mail panel, click on "Foo" to show all emails with that label in one list
- Select all emails in the list and apply the label "bar"
- Remove the label "Foo" from all emails
