# Redesigned Mail Categories with Label-Based Filtering
## Description
Reimplemented the mail categories feature to use label-based filtering instead of search queries. This change makes it easier for users to customize and manage their inbox views by selecting specific labels rather than writing complex search queries.
The PR enables the categories settings page in the navigation and completely redesigns the UI to focus on label selection. Users can now add, delete, reorder, and set default categories with a more intuitive interface.
## Type of Change
- ✨ New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- 🎨 UI/UX improvement
## Areas Affected
- [x] User Interface/Experience
- [x] Data Storage/Management
## Testing Done
- [x] Manual testing performed
## Checklist
- [x] I have performed a self-review of my code
- [x] My changes generate no new warnings
- [x] My code follows the project's style guidelines
## Additional Notes
The PR also includes improvements to the thread querying logic in the backend to better support label-based filtering. The categories feature is now called "Views" in the UI to better reflect its purpose.
