If I remember correctly, FastMail's migration tool handles this by placing copies of the e-mail in each folder that corresponds to a label, so you'll end up with duplicate e-mail messages (taking up additional space), but you won't actually lose your label organization.
The same logic also applies in FastMail if you really need a message "labelled" in more than one category — you can just
copy it to additional folders. Of course, that's not as slick as Gmail's way of using labels — since it's a copy of the original message, you won't see a single message with multiple labels, but rather multiple individual messages stacked up onto each other.
