Problem you are trying to solve
When importing from thunderbird for desktop, the account colors are not included.
Suggested solution
The account colors from desktop should transfer to android. This would probably require a more complex color picker with RGB support like desktop has instead of the predefined 16 colors.

Pre-Import:
Post Import:
Desktop:
Mobile:
This would probably have to be changed to facilitate the import of desktop account colors.
