I agree - I have been searching for this function somewhere. They included
the color-coding options for the categories - need to extend that to the
folders. I am a very visual person and use icons and colors a lot to
streamline.

I strongly agree! I've wanted colored folders since using a Mac 15 years
ago.

One suggestion: Sometimes I mark an item in a folder as "unread" and the
folder becomes BOLD. It's easier to find a folder if only a few that I'm
currently using a lot are BOLD. I also use ALL CAPS for some folders so that
they stand out. This work-around isn't as great as your suggestion would be,
but it does help.

I would like to see a feature in Outlook where I can change mail folder text
color and font properties. Enabling color-coded folders and user-defined
folder appearance would help building a more effective and personalized
folder structure, especially when you have 100+ folders to scroll and move
between. The mail folder icons could also be made user-definable for
ultimate personalization.
