Color code envelopes from different accounts.

Is there a way to color code the evelope icon beside my mail messages. When
I'm looking at all unread messages, it would be nice if I could visually see
what account a msg came from with out having to hoover my mouse over the
individual messages.

Re: Color code envelopes from different accounts.

No, but you can add an Account column. Just right-click on any column header.

Re: Color code envelopes from different accounts.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't see any column headings. Theres only the
Sort pulldown and whether I want to sort ascending or descending.

Re: Color code envelopes from different accounts.

Typical column headings are "From", "Subject", "Date", etc. Don't you see
those at the top of the message list pane?

Another way to do this is go to View, Columns...
View is on the File menu bar. If you don't see it, press the Alt key.

Not the icon but you can change the highlighting
for the rest of the line using a rule. Unfortunately
I don't think that there is any way to do it (conveniently)
manually otherwise.

I don't think even rules have any way of looking
at the account information, other than as clues
obtained from the From: field or To: field.

Oh... there is something in there I hadn't noticed before:

When the message is from the specified account

How does that work? Looks like it would work...
Then your Action would be Highlight it with color.

Try it and see? ; )

Let us know!


Good luck
