Dear Microsoft,

I have been searching a way to change color for my email folders in Outlook for Mac and it seems it is not possible.

I found these two ticketsù

that have been created 13 years one after the other. Is it possible not to implement a so simple feature?

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Federico

    Hi Federico Amici

    After additional testing, I found that the ability to change folder colors is currently available in Outlook on the web and New Outlook for Windows, but it is not yet available in Outlook for Mac

    I understand this is a feature that many users, including yourself, would like to see in Outlook for Mac. 

    As this is a user-to-user community forum, and as a forum moderator, I am not a member of the Microsoft product team and do not have the ability to directly influence Microsoft's product development decisions. However, I would still encourage you to share your feedback through Ideas · Community 

    This is the official channel for submitting suggestions, and it ensures that your feedback reaches Microsoft’s development team, where it can help shape future updates and improve the overall experience. 

    Your feedback is valuable and truly appreciated. 

    In the meantime, you may consider exploring features such as Categories, Favorites, and custom folder organization in Outlook for Mac. Although they do not offer folder colors, they may help make mailbox organization and navigation easier. 

    Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback and experience. I hope this information helps clarify the current behavior of Outlook for Mac.
