Mails marked as important used to be highlighted in a different color, IIRC it was either green or red. Now they aren't highlighted. The Color page has "Use custom colors" disabled and that shows that indeed Important (and others as well) are configured to black by default. This is a regression, the old style defaults should be kept imo.
Note: actually they are marked as green when I mark a message important, but the green color disappears when I click on the message for *certain* messages (not all of them).
4.10 ? master ? Look at your "tag" tab in settings and look at color for "important" tag
Master. Tag tab? I have Settings->Configure KMail->Appearance->Message Tags, but it is empty.Settings->Configure KMail->Appearance->Colors have the default colors ("Use custom colors" is not checked).
ok message tags empty. will look at why important doesn't use default color.
Tab is empty => not tag (=> you removed all tags) or there is a message which told you that nepomuk doesn't run ? Because I disable nepomuk and it works fine here.
Need more infos.
I didn't remove any tags, I never used them. I only used the standard things, like mark as read and mark as importn. My nepomuk runs fine. As I said it happens only for certain messages. I will give you some screenshots.
Same issue here in 4.9.98, with an IMAP account. The important mails are highlighted when the folder loads, but they lose the color as soon as the mouse pointer moves over the message list
Are there exacts steps to reproduce this issue known?
Yes, sorry that the bug was not updated, we discussed this with Laurent. The problem is that Nepomuk tag coloring overwrites the default coloring (there is also an important tag for Nepomuk), causing the green coloring to disappear.
Patch submitted to fix this bug https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110098/
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301273 It was "somehow" related to attica for me. As I don't use kmail anymore (and built my system with semantic-desktop disabled) I am not able to test your patch :(
