    Great. I'll close the ticket, but I'll still be thinking about some kind of coloring of messages based on tags and/or mailbox location.

    No, there is no preference for this, but it's kind of part of a bigger problem: Many users don't even discover that “Show Fonts” can be used to change fonts in ...

    Not sure exactly what goes wrong, but your description seems to be accurate. I cannot reproduce it without using the “submailboxes” feature. I'll look into it.

734 Two separate accounts with a strange link to one another was updated

    The red color is an intermediate state. This means MailMate has scheduled them for deletion and they won't disappear until they have been deleted on the server.
