Folders can have colours

I must have missed this. Wonder when this feature was added.
Just created a new folder and noticed an option to add a colour.
Cool.

I thought this was only on beta, but I also see it now on production.

Fastmail is in the process of adding new features at this time. Some are still in beta (beta.fastmail.com) while others have made it to production. There are no guarantees that all accounts will see these changes at the same time. For my accounts, I first saw the folder color option a couple of days ago. I can see the following new or changed features on beta at this time:

Labels and Folders
- The user can change between Labels and Folders mode instantly
- Either a folder icon or a label icon is displayed
- In Labels mode, up to 20 labels can be assigned to a particular message
- In Labels mode, when using the Archive button or shortcut from Inbox, the Inbox label is removed from a message. You can still see the message in the All mail category (which shows all messages which are not in Trash after deletion or in a few other special categories).
- A Label has the same name as the corresponding folder
- The color of the Label or Folder can be changed
Filters and Rules changes
- Filters sort and mark mail how you want
- Filters can block senders or whole domains
- Rules can now perform multiple simultaneous actions
  - Mark as read
  - Pin
  - Notify user
  - Send a copy to another address
  - Add label (file into folder)
  - Skip Inbox
  - Choose whether or not to continue to apply other rules
  - Rules can be applied to existing messages in matching conversations as well as to new messages on arrival
  - Rules can be named
Restore feature improvements

Thanks for the summary Bill.

I don't generally check out the Beta so it's nice to get an update on what's in the pipeline.
