[MlMt] Name submailboxes after flag color

[Stephan Kleiber]

Hi Nic,

the initial submailbox configuration was actually pretty simple. I just set "Submailbox for each unique value of" to "Flags >> Color".

Now, digging again into MailMate's settings, I've actually found a solution to my problem: In addition to "Flags >> Color", there's now also "Flags >> Colorname" which does exactly what I want. I think the option wasn't there the last time I looked, so maybe it got added in one of the prerelease versions that I only very recently updated to.

Btw, the above solution did raise a tiny follow-up issue: The submailboxes were sorted alphabetically by colorname which was not ideal for me. Though there doesn't seem to be a way to manually reorder submailboxes, I was able to tackle this by changing the Mailbox name format to ${#flags.#color} ${#flags.#colorname}.

Cheers
Stephan
