The color of the folder name and number of new messages can be modified with this userChrome.css (see picture):

/* Change the color of folders with unread messages */
treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(hasUnreadMessages-true)
{color: red !important;}

Hi, can one define different colors for unread and new messages?

Every new message is unread, but not every unread message is new, and a folder can have unread and new messages. So, I don't think it's possible to have different colors in the folder text.

I've solved it with this in my userChrome.css

/* Change the color of folders with new messages */ treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(newMessages-true) { color: red !important; font-weight: bold !important; }
