The icon is only an outline and the star on the original 'yellow' folder was easily detectable as it had a stronger outline to differentiate.

It would be helpful if you could explain why you made this decision - you need to understand that it is me who has to explain this in the Support Forums.

Correct. Thanks for listening. It is really a problem not seeing where new mail resides if not in Inbox.
