Applying colours to highlight incoming emails ?

[Stuart Mackie [MCP, MSP]]

Hi. I am trying to configure Organisation Colours to highlight incoming
emails from certain contacts. At the minute when I apply the Colour
Formatting/Rules it only appears to apply to that particular folder.

How/where do I need to apply the Highlighting settings to, so that it
applies to the Inbox and all sub-folders without going through each folder
individually ?

automatic formatting is view based - apply the view to the other folders and
you should see the colors.

Ah ok, thats perfect. One other quick thing which you may be able to clear
up for me which is along the same lines. Am I right in thinking that 'Show
in Groups' is not view based and has to be applied per folder ? So if a
user had 50+ sub-folders inside the Inbox, they would have to go through
each one to switch off 'Show In Group's ?
