I've just hit this missing feature in a slightly different situation: the empty trash button in Geary won't delete a label/folder previously deleted in the webmail. It acts only on messages.
Should this include Labels as well as Folders? PS With regard to comment 1 from me, I don't think it makes any sense.
(In reply to Federico Bruni from comment #2) > Should this include Labels as well as Folders? Yup, since labels/folders are both IMAP mailboxes.

It acts only on messages. That's related, but probably a separate bug.
Any news on the implementation of this feature? I would suggest the use of right-click to allow renaming/deletion of a specific Label, yet no right-click behavior is present for any element on the left panel. I recommend looking into Mailspring and how it behaves. For adding a new label I would recommend either a '+' button right of the Labels section, or a right-click behavior on said section.
For me it's pretty much blocked on Bug 730712, per "Depends on" above. If someone wants to contribute a stop-gap solution before then, I'd be happy to work with them on that.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
