Color labels in Apple Mail?

Hi, I use Apple Mail with multiple accounts (pop, imap) and I'd like to know if there's a way to assign a color label in order to have a better managment of my inbox. Is it possible?
Thanks

This can be done via scripts.

It's a free script and works quite well.

HT2500 CANT GET RID OF GMAIL LABELS ON APPLE MAIL.

Hi,
Can somebody please help me.
I was using Apple Mail with my Gmail for quite some time then I had to use Outlook provided by my workplace. I recently left the job and now back on using Apple mail to manage my gmail.
I just noticed that there's this weird thing 'labels'. I spent some time going through threads and changed settings few times..... but I cant get rid of this [google mail] underneath my mailboxes which I used to see and use before.
I dont like to see this [google mail] thing as it seems a duplication to me.
And since I dont access usually from gmail via webmail but more often with Apple Mail, I liked how it worked - delete on Apple Mail gets deleted on gmail server.... I just want to use it as it was before.....
I cant find the way and since theres no contact email for google nor help centre, can someone please please help me? Im attaching screenshots here below...
I JUST HATE UGLY UNNECESSARY STUFF ON MY LAYOUT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ in this case - the label...
Many thanks,
T

Why the color labels of my mails disappear?

Disappear the color labels which I mark some of my messages. When I reopen the program they do not exist.

labels are synchronised to the server for imap mail accounts. Unfortunately older server software does not support the feature and the labels are removed instead of synchronised.
If you mail account is checked on say a 15 minute schedule then the labels will also disappear every 15 minutes if my assumption is correct.

Flag color sync in Apple Mail with Gmail and Yahoo?

It appears that colored flags sync through iCloud for your @me.com email address. Is there a way to get the colored flags to sync across computers for a Yahoo or Google account? For example, if I flag an email in my Gmail account with a Green Flag on my Apple desktop computer in Apple Mail, is there a way to get the flag to show up as Green on my laptop in Apple Mail? Currently, the fact that the email is flagged syncs across computers and accounts, but not the particular color of the flag. Also, highlighting an email a certain color does not appear to sync, even for my @me.com account. And lastly, now that Apple has switched from Mobile Me to iCloud, they have given up Mail Rule syncing... is there a way to get my Apple Mail Rules to sync between computers? Thanks!

Upon further investigation, I have determined that flag colors applied in Apple's Mail program DO sync through your iCloud @me.com email address AND through a Google gmail account. However, flag colors DO NOT sync through Yahoo. Email highlight colors DO NOT appear to sync through iCloud, Gmail, or Yahoo. If anyone figures out a way to enable any of these features that at the moment do not sync (flag color in Yahoo, highlight color, mail rules), please respond!

Color labels - Alias mail

ENGLISH
How do the colors of the labels alias email?
I have 3 mailboxes and different colors but I do not see a difference when the mail arrives.
Thanks
ITALIANO
Come funzionano i colori delle etichette delle alias di mail?
Ho 3 caselle di posta e colori diversi ma non vedo differenze quando le mail arrivano.
Grazie

Thank you!
But the rules do not apply automatically for new mail?
I always have to manually click on "Apply rules"?
So, the color labels on icloud mail alias is useless?

Syncing Multiple Gmail Accounts including Labels to the Apple Mail program

First please point me to the correct thread if previously discussed;
I currently have multiple Gmail accounts; with each account I have several "labels". I am trying to sync my multiple Web-Gmail accounts and labels(folders) to the one Mail program (i.e. Have each gmail account/labels show up in Mail as they do in Gmail). Is there a way to sync/coordinate the Gmail accounts & labels with Apple Mail and sync vise-versa (ie. move to an email in Apple Mail to a Gmail label(folder) then it sync the same in Gmail, or move an email in Gmail then it updates the same in Apple Mail)?
Appreciate the help!

i have it working now. i have gmail forwarding my email to my me/icloud email, which are then pushed to the device instantly, when i respond it shows as coming from my gmail account since i disabled the apple outgoing smtp server and am using the gmail one. i just tested it a bunch of times, gmails are definetly being pushed to my iphone and ipad, coming thru instantly.
the only problem i cant figure out is why the iphone 5 is so slow to send thru the gmail server when the ipad sends instantly.

Close all folders in Mail? Color Label folders? Find folder? And More!

Hi all.
I have a LOT of mail. They're all very organized, though. Heaps of Mailboxes (Folders) and Sub-folders.
I also have heaps of rules dutifully sending incoming mail to their appropriate mailboxes.
However...
It has reached a point where one of of the major bottlenecks in my daily workflow is sorting through all these mailboxes.
There are 5 primary mailboxes with perhaps 100-ish subfolders or sub-subfolders. Maybe more.
When they are all open, or a lot of them are open, it is difficult to find the a specific folder when I need it. It would help if I could close all open folder with a shortcut.
Is this possible?
It would also help if I could visually distinguish each level. Can I color label the mailboxes(not the messages themselves)?
Another help would be if I could run a search for a folder Mailbox name. Is this possible?
Lastly when I create a rule I would love it if there was an option to 'Create new Mailbox' in the rule dialog box rather than having to create the mailbox first. Am I just missing this? See link for illustration:
http://img.skitch.com/20080820-eaqmy89emw6xm5pcj86iuqu992.jpg

I just had a look and you need to create the mailbox PRIOR to asking the rules to move it into that.
Now, automator lets you create a new workflow, but not sure as to how to set that one up (might be possible; however, my mathematical brain tells what you want to achieve is flawed:
1) IF new mail equals "tangerine", create new mailbox tangerine, then move message to mailbox "tangerine. (FINE so far!)
2) the second "tangerine" message arrives, and the workflow should FAIL (because it cannot create a "new" mailbox "tangerine", as there is ALREADY a mailbox named "tangerine")
3) if automator cannot execute "If" and "and" and the "sort by" all together, then distinguish (a "tangerine" message might actually need to go to "pear" but refers to "pears and tangerines", so it ends up in the wrong mailbox), you may have to start and restart mail, until all stages of the script have been executed.
You see the problems?
Anyhow, here is a link to some automator info:

Good luck

Solution for color coding Apple Mail mail boxes?

Using OS 10.9.5, I would like to find an Apple or third party solution that would allow me to color-code my mailboxes in Apple Mail version 7.3.

* UPDATE *
If I search for text in an email I am viewing (in the Mail split screen format) the found text still remains grey.
HOWEVER, if I double click the email to open it and then search for text the found text is now in the correct colour.

Apple Mail (Tiger) Header Labels Suddenly Go Berserk

Suddenly my Apple Mail labels (eg., "Subject) no longer show properly. I suspect it's a Mail font problem. But it's been working fine up to now, and I didn't do anything untoward to affect the fonts. It appears to have occurred after downloading a particular message. Of course, if I paste the supposedly problematic Labels into another application they look fine. Hmmm. Anybody have a cause and a fix?
Powerbook 17-133MHz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You've probably either disabled or removed a font that Mail needs to work properly (e.g. Helvetica):

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
Any help would be welcome

This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

Apple Mail - Amber color sometimes in Mailbox Pane in Yosemite

Hi
I am running OX X Yosemite 10.10 and using Apple Mail. Sometimes in the Mailbox pane on the left I see the top of the column glow amber and fade down the upper part of the column. It almost appears as if the color is moving. Has anyone else seen this and if so do you know what it signifies? My guess it means it is checking mail, but it does not to it consistently to affirm my guess.
Any help is appreciated!
Brandon

solved it without delete/add back (which would have been a pain)
turns out the having INBOX in the mail app path prefix setting (mail/ preferences/accounts/advance) was causing the entire account to not show up in the mailbox pane.
I have other email acts where it works only with INBOX in this setting. Still haven't figure out what makes this necessary sometimes, and not other times. Once the account showed up in the bottom of the mail pane, I was able to expand it and highlight the individual mailboxes that appeared (sent, drafts, etc), and then select the "Use this mailbox as" command which is at the bottom of the Mailbox menu.
Seems to me that different IMAP servers present themselves to mail clients with a fair amount of variation, so setting up Apple's mail app for one IMAP acct may be quite different from another.
I wish I could find a really good tutorial which thoroughly explains mailboxes in the apple mail client and mailboxes in an IMAP server and how they all interact, but anyway, its working ok now.

Where can I find old prefs like color labels

After installing a new OS on a new HD after a HD crash, I would like to copy old prefs and settings like color labels, mailboxes and messages, maybe the dock (to see which software was installed on the old HD). I have a back-up of the old system.

If you were having no problem with prefs on your old system, you could just replace ~/Library/Preferences from your backup. You can do the same with other folders.
Here's a list of where your important data is stored ("~" stands for "Home"):
Your data in ~/Documents
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iCal(copy the whole folder)
Also in ~/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
~ /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/Safari (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
~/Pictures/iPhoto library
~/Music/iTunes
~/Movies/iMovie
If you want cookies:
~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
~/Library/Application Support/Webfoundation/HTTPcookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in Documents/Microsoft user data
Also in ~ /Library/Preferences/Microsoft
internet explorer favorites are in ~/Library/Preferences/Explorer/favorites.html

Color label messages

I know I can make rules to color certain messages but what I want is to look at a particular message and mark it as important and make it red or some other color. I can FLAG a message but that is not as useful as having the message stand out because it is a different color. Both Eudora and Thunderbird let me do this, does Apple mail? Did I miss something obvious like I often do? Thanks.
Bea

Yes it does. A series of Applescript supports several colors which can be sorted:
