Lotus Notes r6:  Color Code Incoming Mail Messages

You can select up to three color combinations to differentiate mail memos you receive based on the senders name or partial name. You can change the text as well as the background color. (Sorry, group names are not supported.)

1. When in your mail database, go to the Tools button and select Preferences…
2. With the Mail tab selected, click the Colors tab.
3. Type the sender’s name (full or partial) in the Sender names field. This is not case sensitive. Separate multiple entries by pressing [Enter]. You may also click the browse button and add the names directly from the address book.
4. Under the View colors section, select the background and text colors from the drop-down palettes.
5. Click OK when finished.
