I'd like to have the possibility to change color to each account label and icon.

Agree. I'd like to have the possibility to change some to each account - color or label or icon. Because we can not manage yet comfortably those without trying.

Sarebbe utile rinnovare la funzionalità di colorare gli account. Grazie

It would be useful to renew the functionality of coloring accounts. Thank you

Account Colours

I would like to be able to assign different colours to accounts in the message pane, similar to the function offered in old Thunderbird versions by the extension "Account Colors" by DW-dev.

Yes, this will be useful. I've stayed at an earlier version of Thunderbird just to have Account Colors, which does not work with the latest versions of Thunderbird.

Coloring the account is already in Calendar. Is any method to use the same code?

Great news! This feature is now in development, and we're aiming to ship it in time for Thunderbird 128 in July. This is the first patch of an upcoming stack that will add some nice visual cues in the message list and the compose window for users with multiple accounts.

Keep your feedback and suggestions coming, we appreciate it!

Yes, this is good news! The deprecated addon Account Colors should serve as a good start. I would think with access to the actual code you should have the opportunity to make it nice, but still clean. 

Hopefully, in the new versions you don't remove more functionality.

This is exciting! Thanks team.

I checked this addon, and I want to say this is what I want. I have too many emails now, and I want to group email-account into folders, and assign color identity to each account so it would be faster for me to detect the account I am looking for when I open Thunderbird. (an account search bar would be useful too)

Hello, nice, but it's only the first step.
It would be nice to have possibility to change also the background color of the section.
It should be configurable for the account, and also for the folder....

Check out "BorderColors D" addon - I would like to have same feature in the core. I'm constantly sending emails to governmental institutions from my programmer email and vice versa.

It would be awesome to have some delicate color differentiation when composing new email in the core like in the Apache Netbeans IDE (Project can be separated with different color)

This is NEEDED asap! PLEASE!

I have too many email accounts, It's a hassle to go through them.
A simple coloring feature per account in the account panel list would be SO handy.

I like that the implementation has started, as stated by @jevangelho 

Eager to see and test it in a beta/mainstream release.

For visual people like me, it's critical in choosing productivity tools such as email client.

Thanks TB team!
