<p dir="auto">I’m not quite sure how you managed to do this :(</p>
<p dir="auto">I have my INBOX, and I can set rules there, but under Actions, there’s no option to assign a color.</p>
<p dir="auto">Do you have another way to achieve this?</p>
<p dir="auto">Or did you mean that you created a smart mailbox with specific conditions?</p>
<hr style="border: 0; height: 1px; background: #333; background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #ccc, #333, #ccc);">
<p dir="auto">So after some testing, I figured it out:</p>
<p dir="auto">I created a smart mailbox and set conditions to specify which emails should be highlighted.</p>
<p dir="auto">Then, on the smart mailbox itself, I did the following:<br>
1. Right-click -> Color -> Red<br>
2. Right-click -> Color -> <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Use Color in Message List</code></p>
<p dir="auto">Now, when I switch to a different mailbox where these messages are also visible, the color remains.</p>
<p dir="auto">The smart mailbox can be placed somewhere - it is just for the color.</p>
<p dir="auto">One minor drawback: the mailbox name in the tree on the left side only changes the icon’s color but not the mailbox name itself. However, this is not critical.</p>
<p dir="auto">Note: Initially, I expected the color to be set in the Rules/Actions as an Action called <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">set color</code>. While this is achievable, it requires multiple steps (adding a tag, then creating a smart mailbox with a condition for this tag and setting the color). This approach would necessitate creating many smart mailboxes solely for color management.</p>
<h2>Summary:</h2>
<ul>
<li>A request to add an action for <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">set color</code>/<code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">remove color</code></li>
<li>A request to add an action for <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">set font style: bold | underline | italic | strikethrough</code> / <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">remove font style</code></li>
<li>An option to color the mailbox name in the tree as well: <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">Apply Color to Mailbox Name</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">The change made through an action should always override the smart mailbox coloring.</p>

<p dir="auto">Dear Henry,</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you very much for your quick answer. I was not aware of this possibility of styling from the menu and this lead me to read in the updated doc that this feature has been removed.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was sad at first that this feature has been removed but thanks to you I now found out that one can now mimic the same behavior by creating a rule with a smart mailbox for every email with the tag « Done » and then to apply color to this very mailbox.</p>
<p dir="auto">It is very convenient in my opinion to have all the emails that requires no more attention from me to be colored in green (and the urgent emails in red)</p>
<p dir="auto">Many thanks and all best wishes,</p>
<p dir="auto">Paul</p>

<p dir="auto">Paul,</p>
<p dir="auto">I use the menus instead of editing the respective plist to color the Sources (NB, the coloring done that way only applies the the single source folder). If the coloring is done in the Styles will it apply to all submailboxes?</p>
<p dir="auto">It works quite well my way for my purposes, but was a lot more work perhaps than your way. so I have colored settings for certain sub mailboxes (Archive, Sent) per Account to specific colors as well.</p>
<p dir="auto">Whichever way you do it, remember to save the .plist settings made to be used for migrations to other CPU’s. I do that on a regular basis and utilize that (from my iCloud Storage)whenever changing to a new CPU.</p>
<p dir="auto">Respectfully,</p>

<p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">I used to apply custom styling to my message list by editing Style.plist <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Styles.plist</code> where I used to apply styling to my messages as below (basically it colors the message in green if the message is tagged with the tag DONE etc.)</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">{ styles = (
{ type = keyword;
keyword = 'Done';
color = "#17bf17";
fontStyle = "bold";
},
{ type = keyword;
keyword = 'RemindMe';
color = "#e8d105";
fontStyle = "bold";
},
{ type = keyword;
keyword = 'Important';
color = "#cc2e0e";
fontStyle = "bold";
}
);
}
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">But it seems like it does not work anymore since MailMate 2.0+</p>
<p dir="auto">Does anyone here encountered the same issue ?</p>
<p dir="auto">Many thanks in advance and all best wishes,</p>
