Default Possibility to color-code mail folders in Outlook

They know people want it, but the cost of making it work was too high for
current versions - other features are more useful and less costly to
implement. Time will tell if it made the feature cut in the next version.

it's really kind of amazing that they DIDN'T anticipate the desire for
such a
feature...

All they have to do is enable the same functionality as the Windows

has. This would definitely enhance the user's ability to organize their
data.

I've been trying to find a way of doing this, and whole-heartedly agree
with
your suggestion. Even if you could just alternate colors or shading
between
successive folders, it would be a great 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.
