I see by this example that I can create a filter and set a label for
it:
gam all users filter to empl...@yourdomain.com label Employees
archive

Can I use gam to remove a label? When you migrate mailboxes all the
messages get a label "Migrated", I would like to be able to bulk
remove that label. I was trying this:
gam update user myuser label Migrated remove (I also tried off)

Can you assign color to the label in the script?

Hi Harold,

The ability to delete labels or assign label colors is not available
in Google's APIs thus GAM cannot offer these capabilities.

Damn... Any idea how to get rid of the Migrated label on migrated
mailboxes? Is there a way to do it during the migration?
