<div>How about having different colors on the tabs in Lotus Notes client?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The idea would function similar to how Colorfultabs work in Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Examples of implementation:</div>
<div>1) Different color for a) inbox b) mails under construction c) incoming mail d) calendar e) calendar entries f) databases</div>
<div>Or</div>
<div>2) Just random colors to just easy separate tabs</div>
<div>Or</div>
<div>3) Based on the senders email address. So if I open a mail where any of the persons is a certain person the tab color will reflect this. Maybe red color for some hot shot boss. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I vote for 1) but the other two is also ok.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As you see there is many ways to do this and increase efficiency when working with the mail application!</div>

Excellent idea ! Given the number of users I come across with a huge number of tabs open...

Imagine how happy our users would be if they discovered that Notes had this ;-)

Could actually be a killer feature which Outlook never will have. Image Outlook users nagging on the IT-staff about how excellent Lotus Notes is to work in.

Good idea if the client has a property to override the colors and show default color instead for users that don't want a rainbow in the tab-area... :)

And the color should be programmable both on document level and on view level.
