Create a colorless top-level Mail folder
Authored by: Vizspring on Feb 11, '04 10:37:46PM

You can actually create colorless folders without this pseudo-hack as well. Just create a new (standard blue) mailbox. Then drag another mailbox under the mailbox (so you have two nested mailboxes).

If you use Mail to delete the top mailbox, it fades to white instead of disappearing (because it still contains the child mailbox).

(In short, all you have to do is delete a mailbox that contains other mailboxes - careful though, you lose any real "mail" in the top mailbox.)

I haven't found a good way to "restore" the mailbox to full functionality though. The only real way, as someone hinted at above, is to create a new mailbox and just move over all of the contents.
