Would be create if you provide commands to label a message and show labelled messages.

How it could work:

  1. labeling a message means add a header X-MU-Labels: label1, label, with comma, label2
  2. a key binding to label a message (L) in mu4e and a similar command in CLI
  3. a key binding to show messages with a certain label: type l so choose a label (as well a search parameter for mu CLI)
  4. be able to create rules that work as labels (similar to mu4e-bookmarks), it could be in a configuration file (~/.mu-virtual-labels) and both mu4e mu CLI must interpret it

Actually, there is support for the X-Label header (see the mu-find man-page). But mu/mu4e won't modify your messages, probably want to keep it that way. Nothing is stopping you from writing a little script to do so though (e.g. using formail); you could even integrate it with mu4e as an action (see the mu4e documentation).
