Ok, makes using new Tags with Gmail label mappings easier! Am I
correct however to understand that the *creation only happens when

That is correct. I don't think there is a way to create IMAP keywords
without assigning them to messages. (Gmail labels could be created, but
MailMate does not do that.)
Ok, I'll have to keep that in mind. So one should think of the *Tag
panel* in the preferences as "*Tag configuration*" rather than "*Tag
Management*"?
That's one way to view it although I'm not sure those words make it more
clear to most users :-)
Ok, so again, the best way is to *approach the tag preferences like a
config file*? I.e. that I'm never "renaming" a tag, or even "changing"
any properties of anything, I'm simply editing the config file?
Yes.
In that case, since it's a config file, I would be doing the following
to edit something?
1. Config the new Tag+label you want to use
2. Add that Tag+label to all messages you want to have it
3. Remove the old Tag+label from the messages that have the new
Tag+label
4. Remove the old Tag+label from the Tag preferences
Yes. That is also a safe approach with regard to not making mistakes or
if some problem surfaces related to the used keyword and/or label.
Ok, I'll see this as a confirmation of the steps I wrote above as
well. (I think it should be included in the documentation in that
case).
I'll note to document this.
[interface suggestions]
Thanks for the suggestions. Although it would be nice with automatic
renaming of keywords/labels after making tag changes then it's not high
on my list.
