nice, the bold font settings I overlooked til now, never tried, makes it
already much easier

the colors are no problem since they can be configured also

may be looking more times at the attached image, you may like the enhanced mail
box names

you can try this, get a white sheet and look at it, you see a white sheet

now draw a small point somewhere on this sheet and look, what your eyes see
first is the point, not the sheet

now draw another point, a bolder one and look again, your eyes automatically
are focusing the bold point

there is nothing to to about, you can even force to focus on the small, on
first sight your eyes go to the bold one

even if already solved the bold font, draw several small points and several
bold points randomly and look again, now something interesting happens, your
brain ask for help, eyes go changing focus automatically between the bold ones
UNTIL you decide which one you want to look at. Now more interesting , remember
one of the bold ones, turn the paper around ad try to look directly to the
remembered one ... probably you will not find it on first sight, you have to
look it up. 

Now draw it in another way, order it, bold reg reg reg, bold reg reg reg, bold
reg reg reg, bold reg reg reg, turn the paper around and try to look first on
the third bold, now it works. Our brain needs order, random does not work well.

so, bottomline is,  a good organized UI benefits productivity
