I can't reproduce either. High Priority emails are highlighted pink
immediately in my tests.
It's entirely dependent on the order the IMAP server returns the IMAP
flags.
The problem is that both 'unseen' and 'high priority' have the same CSS
importance. CSS only allows a binary determination of what is
"important". Thus, 2 or more rules with labeled important necessarily
need to overwrite each other in either a FIFO or LIFO manner.
Writing code to get around this would be prohibitively expensive and not
worth it - especially since "priority" is not even a real, recognized
flag.

Dear Micheal,
What I understood from cyrus mailing list is that, priority is not a IMAP
flag. It is just a header in Mail.
That's EXACTLY the point. There is no RFC or standard for "priority".
So it should be subservient to all other IMAP flags (including the
absence of the \seen flag).
And also, I am able to see the '!'
character getting listed with the mail. It means, IMP knows that, this is a
high priority mail.
Of course. The point being that the \seen status (more correctly, the
absence of the \Seen flag a/k/a unseen) -- namely the seen row
coloring -- is preferred over the priority coloring. This is by
design and makes sense from a UI perspective. "Priority" is kind of
useless, especially since the vast majority of messages that set this
flag are Spam; compare this with "unseen", which is always 100%
accurate.
