I recall notmuch keeps its labels in a database, not within the messages. Is this right? An advantage of using X-Label is that when messages are synchronized between computers (I use mbsync) the labels are automatically synchronized also. I use 'mu' to index and when required produce virtual maildirs containing messages that match certain criteria, among whom one can include Xlabels.
