2059950 - Account Settings account Colour not available in a unified folder table view of Message List

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect, P3)

Description

[Anje]

Windows 11 OS
Thunderbird beta 154.0.1

Account Settings
Set account colours

Folder Pane
View > Folders > All
Colour displays in icon adjacent to account name.

View > Folders > Unified
Expand Unified folder eg: Inbox to see various accounts
Colour displays as a thin strip on left side of account name

Message List of emails in Unified Inbox.

Currently :
In Table view - Thread Pane/ Message List.
No ability to use account colour data for emails in Unified folders.

Actual Results
In Table View
No column header for Account Colour
Enable 'Account' column header to see name of account, but it also has no reference to account colour. This uses a lot of horizontal space.

Expected Results
In Table View
Column header option for Account Colour
Enable 'Account' column header shows name of account, which uses the account colour in font or a thin strip at start of account name like Folder Pane.
Thus allowing to shrink the column header eg: so seeing colour strip and part of account

Sharing a screenshot to show how this is going.
I need to add a couple of tests and then it should be good for a review.
