Tagging
The tagging facility enables one to assign a selection of emails to a tag name. At any stage, emails associated with a tag can be recalled. It is different to the Save Search feature in that the actual search query is not saved - only selected emails.
The tagging feature is useful when fulfilling email records requests. For example, say specific emails are requested for auditing purposes, these emails can be tagged with a request ID such that all the emails associated with the request can be referred to at a later stage.
