Apple Mail message highlighting seems "stuck", how to fix?
I've been thinking about using Apple Mail for some of my email uses, but I've got a strange problem, after going back to the program. I use the Rules feature to highlight messages from certain friends and family members. I also, for some reason, used to use it to highlight mail that went to a certain account.
I don't want it to put a purple highlight behind mail to that account anymore, though, so I removed that rule. But mail continues to highlight those messages. In fact, any changes I make to the rules (moving a friend from one ihghlight color to another) are not "taken" by Mail. Even if I delete all the rules, the color highlightings remain.
I threw out the com.apple.mail.plist file in ~/Library/Preferences, but the problem persists.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Any suggestions on how to deal with it?
