The Ultimate Guide to Office 365 Ah, the Office 365 blue. Love it or hate it, you see a lot of it when you use various Office products, especially Outlook 2013 and 2016. The blue color shows up prominently in your Outlook 2013/2016 inbox when new email messages come in, with a bold blue subject line and a blue bar indicating an unread message. Outlook 2013 and 2016 will allow you to use Conditional Formatting in your inbox so unread messages will appear with whatever color and font style you like–you don’t have to stick to blue. Watch the video above or follow these steps:. From the View tab in the ribbon, select View Settings.
Click Conditional Formatting. With the Unread messages view selected, click Font.
Choose whatever font style, size, and color you like.
Nice work around since MS has not yet developed the color issue in Outlook. I can use this idea. Thanks a Lot.:) amrdarweesh wrote: If the goal is to quickly identify the folder visually/graphically ( as this is my goal when I search an answer for the same question of the this thread), I found a good way of doing this, which is to insert special characters to visually mark the folder name like: These characters you can paste after you copy them from 'Character Map', the built-in application in windows. I hope this could be a good workaround. This is happening when the folder name in the function ColorizeOutlookFolder (e.g. Personal Documents 000-Mgmt-CH 100-People) is not existing.

Thanks for this workaround! It does work.! Just like v eronikam, I am not a programmer, so I hope that you can help with this question I have: Is there a way to NOT have the sub-folders be colored? You see, I have to move sub-folders between folders, and when I do that they retain the color coding from the original folder they were in.
Now, I could just disable the macro and then move the sub-folder, then enable the macro again. I was just hoping there was a way to modify the VBA that doesn't take up a lot of your time. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
