[MlMt] Message colouring hierarchy?

[Henry Seiden]

Pierre,

Here’s my manual workflow to handle my mail in 10 accounts in a single 
session, runs about 10-20 min depending on items counts:
1. Manually read and mark as read from the generic All Inboxes (smart) 
mailbox. I do not have the option to auto-mark mail when opened as read 
for security reasons (do not want to auto-mark when opened).
2. Move read items to Archive as needed, before or after reply, as 
suitable.
3. Delete the rest whether junk or copied Mailing List items.
4. Compose new mail or reply to inbound mail:
	a. Send immediately (goes to sent mail folder).
	b. Save to Draft folder which goes to relative account’s folder upon 
saving the draft item.
	c. Save to draft as future delivery (setting a future delivery date), 
which goes to the relative account’s draft (smart) folder.
	d. Inbox is left empty for future incoming mail. 	

Working on use of colored mailboxes as prompts for handled mail in MM. 
Will sorted mail from an iOS device share the coloring scheme? Will find 
out soon…

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
