Information doesn't exist in one place and shouldn't be confined to a single folder. Tagging fixes this.

Gmail shortcut tip: when looking at a message, type "l" (lowercase "L"), which will popup the labels picker, then type the first letter of the tag you want to apply, then enter to apply it an "y" to archive.
