I had previously tried creating a new color group with no success. However, in
response to your reply I decided to try it again. It seems that no matter how
one accesses "Color Group", be it MESSAGE*COLOR GROUP*MANAGE COLOR GROUP,
OPTIONS*PREFERENCES*COLOR GROUP or right-clicking anything in either the account
tree or the message list pane and choosing COLOR GROUP/MANAGE COLOR GROUP, it's
always the same color group window containing GENERIC GROUP/DEFAULT.

That aside, I just discovered that if you create a new color group you can
assign that new color group to any folder in the account tree (but not the whole
account tree unless you select all folders) and any message (but not all unless
you select all) in the message view pane.

So, I suppose I could pre-select all the folders in the account tree and
configure a new color group for all selected folders. That seems to incur a
separate step when adding a new folder to the account tree; i.e., selecting the
proper color group for that new folder.

As is usually the case in matters such as these I'm probably missing something
and if so, I apologize for wasting your time but certainly appreciate your
efforts.
