Senders' Colors and Recipient Icons
Often it is important for us to identify particular e-mails in our inbox quickly, specifically if they are sent only to us or we have been CCed, or if an e-mail has been received from a certain person. We can specify text and background colors to identify messages from particular senders. For example, we could use one color combination to identify co-workers on an important project, another color combination for our manager, and some other combination for personal messages from friends.
