My comment will not answer your question, but it reflects several
months of using colored flags and tags. My impression is that tags are
more useful : they can be used to sort the messages, they can be
searched for throughout all mailboxes, they are recognized by most
servers (so transferable from one computer to the other (except with
Exchange), unlike colored flags), they allow a relatively easy
visualization of who sent what, …
Thanks. This finally made me figure out tags, and yes, they seem quite
handy! The "T" modifier in Search View is great! Thanks again.
This being said, a more convenient combination of keys to change the
flag color would still be useful.

To change the flag colors you have to use the fussy Shift-F, release,
press number process. Is there any way to change them so that a
quicker and easier keyboard shortcut could be used, such as a
function key, or at least a non-shifted lowercase f?

It's cool, that you can easily switch on a flag by hitting
`Shift-F` 0-9, so there needs to be some kind of support for
searching it somewhere - I just did not find it yet.
Flags are implemented using IMAP keyword “bits”. A clever
solution by Apple, but MailMate currently doesn't have an easy way
to do colored flag searches. You can only do it by searching for the
corresponding set of bits. Here are the F keybindings:
"F" = {
"0" = ( "removeTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"1" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"2" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"3" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"4" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"5" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"6" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "removeTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
"7" = ( "setTag:", "\\Flagged", "removeTag:",
"$MailFlagBit0", "setTag:", "$MailFlagBit1", "setTag:",
"$MailFlagBit2" );
};
Implicitly, they also tell you what to search for, e.g., F2, means
that `$MailFlagBit0` is enabled and `$MailFlagBit1`/`$MailFlagBit2`
are disabled.
I hope that helps.
