The help files are a bit cryptic ;) They're for automatically highlighting defined groups of messages - for example, all the observation reports I get are highlit red and bold when unread, which is reasonably useful :) To use them you do two things: (i) use Options | Message List Colours to set a colour definition up; (ii) use Account | Sorting Office/Filters to apply that colour definition to a (sub)set of the incoming messages. An example (my folders, naming conventions etcetera) - to colour all incoming messages for this list purple, with unread ones in bright purple and bold text: (i) Group name = [tbudl], handle = 1, colour of read = Purple, colour of unread = Fuchsia, all other settings unchanged. (ii) Filter name = [tbudl], Move to folder Inbox/Lists/[tbudl], Actions | Set the message's colour group = ticked, dropdown box below = [tbudl] The only slight problem (?) is that messages already filtered without the colour group set up don't change colour group automatically; you have to drag them back to Inbox and then do Re-filter messages (right mouse butto from Inbox folder in pane). There are doubtless other ways of using colour groups, but the above is what I do.
