When I select a group of messages, press t to open the tagging field,
and apply the tag "mailmate", nothing is tagged. When I select any
message from the group, it has no tag. Nothing appears in the header,
and nothing appears when I press t.
The problem turned out to be an elementary misunderstanding of the
interface on my part. When I apply a tag and press return, the tag
appears outlined in the tag field, and I believed it was applied at that
point. When I then clicked away from the selection and returned to one
of the messages I thought I had tagged, I found the tag was not applied.
Instead, of course, you must press return twice to apply a tag—once to
confirm the selected tag (upon which it becomes outlined) and once to
apply the changes to the message on the server. I did not intuit this.
Why did I have success tagging individual items and not a multiple
selection? I'm not sure. I probably blundered into the correct workflow
without understanding it.
Thanks for your response!

What do you mean by “later”? This might be a hint since it should
appear immediately.
But I would like to be able to apply tags in bulk. Is there something
I'm not understanding?
No, I think it should work as you expect. Something is not working
correctly.
You can enable the “Raw Flags” column in the messages outline in
order to follow changes more closely.
