Is it possible to change the colour of "new incoming messages" displayed in the threadpane? I can only find instrucutions on changing the colour for "unread messages" in the threadpane but not for "new incoming messages in the threadpane. Thanks.

Chosen solution

I think the following line should work:

treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(new) { color: #f33 !important }

You can of course adjust the color, and combine thew selector new with other selectors like unread and/or selected, but I don't think that's necessary for new mails.
