FYI,
Thunderbird has tags.
Filters can set tags on inbound mail
Views and Search folders can be based on tags.

That doesn't address your mobile issues, and thunderbird tags seem to use a different 
mechanism than gmail tags, but it does seem like you can duplicate at least that part of 
the functionality with Thunderbird.

One downside is that thunderbird uses mbox (which is better than current kmail sticking 
everything in a database, but what's so hard about Maildir?), so if you have a lot of mail 
in the one folder with Views, then it's going to become a really large file.
