colour coded flags and watched mail

I can only get red flags and red 'watched' mail. It would be much more
useful to be able to colour code messages.

Thanks for the response, but it does not solve my problem.

I want to be able to colour code threads. Using Message Rules predetermines
all mail with a specific To or Subject etc gets selected. Sometimes people
don't change the Subject line, sometimes only some of the messages with the
same subject line are to be selected.

I want to be able to see my mail in any folder and colour code them
according to my needs. Sometimes I may just want to colour code or flag mail
for response; some to follow different threads etc.

I used to be able to do that with Outlook.
