Account Colours do not display in Unified inbox

  • /e/ version: 1.0 and above
  • Device model(s): any

Summary

When colours are set for separate accounts, these are not displayed in the Unified Inbox view, so one cannot determine which Inbox a message is in.

Description

What is the current behavior?

When I choose to view Unified Inbox, no colour shows beside each email to signify the different Accounts.

There is no possibility to select a color for an account in the account settings in /e/OS Mail

There is no color associated to the account in the account selector.

What is the improved behavior?

A different color is set for each of my accounts. If I don't like them I can change them by going to Settings -> Account settings -> General Settings -> Account Color.

The color set for each account is displayed on the messages in the All Inboxes view so I can easily know in which email account the e-mail has been received.

There is a small color label on the left side of the account selector so user knows at a glance which color is associated to which mail account.

What does it bring?
