You can create smartmailboxes based on this information (for example, any message with a to do item that is due in the next 3 days) Also because the mail resides on your computers, the metadata is searchable by spotlight.

Of course, the interesting thing about tags is not that you can tag something, it's what you do with the pile of tags once you get some mass of tagged content. Additionally, tagging across a network (e.g. a bunch of mailboxes in addition to your own) would result in some interesting resutls. maybe because you have to define labels and apply them to a message, as opposed to defining a bunch of tags on a message ad-hoc.
