Description

So, this doesn't need a lot to understand.

Issue/Request, there's simply no way to customize colors on different email accounts on the Mail app. It's just setup randomly by default (or generated by the email account name).
This caused me to have all 3 accounts with the same color.

Any way to add this?

Thank you!
