Colored Emails


If you use your email for storage, then you might want to read this! You can make e-mails be highlighted whatever color you want by merely selecting the email, hitting Cmd-Shift-C, and then selecting a color. It’s that easy!

In greater detail:

Step 1: Highlight email in main window.
Step 2: Hit Cmd-Shift-C
Step 3: Pick a color.
Step 4: You’ve highlighted the e-mail!

To, “De-Highlight” an email, merely change the highlight color to white.

Why? This way, you can highlight an important email green, or, you can highlight an email red, then, tell your friend, “The info is in the red e-mail”.

  1. You dont even need to remember the Short-Cut. You can even "customize" the menu bar and add the "colors" to it. Just right click on the top of mail.app select "cusomize" and drag it onto.

    The menus may have different names - i am on a german mac os right now.

    Thx for the tipp anyway !

  2. While you can sue the mouse as mentioned, it's usually faster just to use the keyboard shortcut.

  6. Thanks for the handy shortcut to color an email. But what I would really like to do is to highlight my mailbox FOLDERS with colors. I keep quite a long list of folders, but most of my things go into a handful of the folders. It would be so great if those frequently used mailbox folders could be in colors for easier visibility.
