Re: How to change highlighted color . . .

Noel,

Got it!

I was looking at newsgroups, on which Set Color is absent; rather than
"real" folders, as opposed to Quick Viewswhere the Set Color is also absent.

This sets the color of the icons for the folders in the account (storage
folders being an account in this context). It does not actually assist in
identifying which folder is current - simplest thing would be to use the
standard settings to highlight the current item as in the message list pane
and to provide option to show mail folder path in Title bars (hence a reply
compose window might have something like - "Storage Folders->Staff->Joe
Blow->Re : You're Fired" in the Title Bar)
