Regarding “Use Colour in Message List”, I see a different behavior
(I use v5898) : when I right-click on a maibox name (whether real or
smart), “Use Colour in Message List” is grayed. I remember once I
was able to change the color (can’t remember how), but the only
change was the color of the mailbox icon, all the messages remained
black (or white, depending…).
I would love to be able to change the color of the mails in the
Message list of any given mailbox. How can I do that?
“Use Colour in Message List” is grayed for me as well. I can still
get some kind of colorization to work through using both the Hidden
Preference command in Terminal:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmMessageColorsEnabled -bool YES
and through a file named “Styles.plist” located in
~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/
I don’t know if it is standard issue when MailMate starts up the first
time, or if I was playing around with things that I saw in the *Hidden
Preferences* portion of the MailMate Help. [When I ?need? to
procrastinate, I am a tinkerer.] What mine had in it is:
- - -
{ styles = (
{ type = keyword;
keyword = '\\Flagged';
color = "#00FF00";
fontStyle = "bold";
},
{ type = mailbox;
color = "#00FFFF";
uuid = 'INBOX';
fontStyle = "italic"; // boldAndItalic can also be used
},
{ /*disabled = ":true";*/
type = filter;
color = "#FF0000";
uuid = '0249F96D-9B86-452A-B34A-83D83B0125FE';
},
);
}

I just changed the first two blocks to:
- - -
{ type = keyword;
keyword = '\\Flagged';
color = “systemRedcolor”;
fontStyle = "bold";
},
{ type = mailbox;
color = "systemBlueColor";
uuid = 'INBOX';
fontStyle = "italic"; // boldAndItalic can also be used
},
- - -
and added
- - -
{ type = mailbox;
color = "systemGreenColor";
uuid = ‘ARCHIVE;
fontStyle = “regular”;
},
- - -
and the message listings in the Inbox are now all blue italic (upon
restart of MailMate), and the message listing of all flagged messages
(besides having the flag) are in bold red. The message listing of all
archived messages are in green, regular font. At first I wondered why I
would do that, but now I see why. If I look in a smart mailbox, I can
see by a glance the color of the message listing that some are still in
the Inbox and some are flagged and some have been archived.
I think that I will take the ‘italic’ off, because the mailbox now
looks to alarming, which means that I’ll have to procrastinate, and
start tinkering…and then maybe disable something about MailMate that I
need. ;-)
All the best,
Ed
