I've had a play with labels in Evolution.  The first label you make
becomes label 1, the next one label 2, and how your client colours them
is up to it.  It doesn't matter what purpose you give them.  If you,
then, read the mail in another client, they may not be considered the
same labels.  Certainly not if you'd already made some labels in it.
