Whether one thing is evolutionary or revolutionary is pretty hard to determine anyway since it's subject to one's preferences and experience.
In my case i'd say that what Gmail did to the way email works is just revolutionary... The idea of labels is beyond just cool, as you may want to portray it. When you're able to put something into two different places, it changes a lot of things..
And no, there is no basic model of email that is being changed here, with labels+conversations, at last an email service is getting the correct model of email right: that email should not just be a collection of separate email messages (yes, threading helps, but still it pales in comparison the gmail's implementation) but rather it's a media for communication, which should be a continuous exchange of ideas. (the conversation view excels in that regard)
I can go on pitching gmail, but it wouldn't be as good as experiencing it and seeing the difference that it makes...
