GTDInbox
Integrates the highly effective methodology of “Gettings Things Done” into Gmail. GTD rests on the principle that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them somewhere. That way, the mind is freed from the job of remembering everything that needs to be done, and can concentrate on actually performing those tasks [Wikipedia].
Folder4Gmail can arrange your labels as a hierarchy. You need to install Greasemonkey and a Greasemonkey script to get it working.
Check out the Ultimate Getting Things Done Index for more information about GTD.
