Color-coding for emails
So it's easy to know which email address the message was sent to even before opening it.

As a dyslexic user my brain is tuned to look for different visual indicators. I have three accounts setup in outlook (Google, Outlook.com and Exchange Online). When I see outlook notifications, on android, they're all the same colour, which means I have to carefully read the detail to know which account is notifying me.

I'd like for a colour coded system for emails, just like for calendars, when you have multiple emails added in the app. When displaying all inboxes it should be more clear which email belongs to which inbox without having to open the email.

When looking at all accounts inbox we need to be able to identify by color which account an email belongs to.

When looking at all account inbox, no way to easily identify at a glance what acct the email was sent to. a simple sliver of color or a dot for each message corresponding to a mail acct would solve that.
Which brings me to request 2: ability to choose my account icon identifiers / colors. I have 2 yahoo accts added and they are circles with a single letter and some random color. My gmail, hotmail and o365 all use nice icons to identify them. I'd prefer to just choose colors for them instead. don't know why the yahoos don't have the little Yahoo logo. -

Compared to Google calendar, one reason that causes me to think outlook's calendar unpractical is the missing of color choice for my arranges. Color is directly perceived through the senses so please add this function.

For example all emails from account 1 would be color codes red, account 2 would be green so when viewing all email listing you could quickly tell which email is sent to account 1 or 2.

it would be more helpful if I could color code when setting up a calendar appt. I want to use it for my family and give each child a different color foe their activities. I don't want to have to use a different account for each child, just a different color. Right now it looks like one person is in 4 different places at the same time every day. I have very active kids.

Having ability to easily distinguish between accounts is critical in email management and triage on a mobile device.
Please add simple colour code option for the user, it should match the calendar colour to make things consistent.

Would like to be able to change and customize the colors on the different accounts on the sidebar for the Outlook Mobile app please! That way the color difference will help me figure out which one is my college email and my work email since they both use Outlook. Thank you Microsoft!

I have to guess which letter "A" is the email I wanna use. 2 google accounts, 2 professional accounts, 1 personal, 1 for newsletter subscription... they all start with A and I"m tired to have to guess which one is what account. add the option to choose the color we want, add another letter, or add a picture. the picture of the general account, like google or microsoft accounts aren"t transmitted from there to the email picture on the menu on the left.

allow the user to color code emails according to what email address the message was sent to.

Couldn't agree more. Being self employed, I manage my business emails & personal emails from the same inbox. I can't always tell from the brief or subject if it's work related or not....

Allow colour coding icons next to each email / conversation for 'all accounts' inbox view. This is a standard feature on most competing apps, and is absolutely essential. It's embarrassing that this feature is not available.
