IMAP does have labels, via the FLAGS command.  (There are "system flags"
like \Seen and "keyword flags" which are probably what you want.)  The
question of client support is another matter, but if you're writing
a webmail, you can write it to exploit the feature as much as you want
(and as the underlying imapd permits). 

Cheers,
