The word "run" is a classic computing term. This is because using "done/end" is not practical in GMail: an already done/end mail can be later replied and then returned to Inbox (and not done/end yet) again. Note that "run" is also the past-participle of same "run": i.e., no matter it is returned/restarted, it was run anyway.
.taken = Alternative to ".run" in case to distinguish that: [1] the mail is handled by someone else, or [2] the mail is corresponded elsewhere (e.g., forwarded/quoted in another subject).
Dot '.' prefix is suggested to place them at beginning of GMail label list.
