Tagging is, well, tagging. I suspect it's similar - but what you DO with it is 
more versatile? Actually, they call them "Labels". ^_^

You can either manually tag a message, or use a Filter to tag the message. You 
can browse messages all with a certain tag by clicking the tag to the left. 
It behaves quite similar to a Folder - except it's more a filter than a 
folder.

A tagged message will also show up in your Inbox - until you Archive it. Once 
Archived, it's accessible in the Label-specific view, but not in the Inbox.

The Filters are quite simple, yet powerful. For example, most noisy mail lists 
I have with their own Label, and have it set up to Auto-Label AND Archive, 
which means it never shows up in the Inbox, but is accessible under the 
Label. The list of Labels include a number, being the count of unread 
messages.

So I can happily ignore a ML, then open up the Label, select a bunch of 
messages, Trash 'em, report as Spam, etc...
