Email coloring?

tcurtin · 04/16/2011, 09:43 AM

Am I the only one that really wants to assign colors to different email accounts for the combined inbox view? I have that set up on Mail on my Mac, and it makes life so much easier.

I looked at the code for the email app a while back, but didn't see any easy way to do it. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Anyone want to develop the patch? Can we start a campaign asking for HP to add this?

I love to use the "All Inboxes" preference and it would be great to have the different senders' names display each in a different color based on the color you assign the mail account. Similar to how the different colors are used for the different calendar accounts.

This seems like it should be a pretty easy thing to implement - each email obviously knows which account it belongs to, so assign a color and put it in a font tag - done! (Or give each account a class, and make it even easier to do via style sheets.)
