I would love to be able to change the color of the mails in the Message list of any given mailbox. How can I do that?</p>

<p dir="auto">“Use Colour in Message List” is grayed for me as well. I can still get some kind of colorization to work through using both the Hidden Preference command in Terminal:</p>
<p dir="auto">defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmMessageColorsEnabled -bool YES</p>
<p dir="auto">and through a file named “Styles.plist” located in ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/</p>
<p dir="auto">I don’t know if it is standard issue when MailMate starts up the first time, or if I was playing around with things that I saw in the <em>Hidden Preferences</em> portion of the MailMate Help. [When I ?need? to procrastinate, I am a tinkerer.] What mine had in it is:</p>

<p dir="auto">and the message listings in the Inbox are now all blue italic (upon restart of MailMate), and the message listing of all flagged messages (besides having the flag) are in bold red. The message listing of all archived messages are in green, regular font. At first I wondered why I would do that, but now I see why. If I look in a smart mailbox, I can see by a glance the color of the message listing that some are still in the Inbox and some are flagged and some have been archived.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think that I will take the ‘italic’ off, because the mailbox now looks to alarming, which means that I’ll have to procrastinate, and start tinkering…and then maybe disable something about MailMate that I need. ;-)</p>
<p dir="auto">All the best,<br>
