With previous OS editions, I had a Rule to change the text-color of emails from my different accounts. It really helps distinguish items from my work and personal emails in my unified "All Inboxes" Inbox.

Since Big Sur (beta 1, and now beta 2), this rule does not seem to have any effect. I have tried deleting it and recreating it. I can intermittently get a "set background color" rule to apply--sometimes it colors items in my inbox, sometimes it does not--but the "set color of text" action has no effect at all. Has anyone seen this, or solved it?

Thanks for responding so fast!
Have you gotten the background-color option to work? I don't like it as much, but it'll do in the short term, but it's only appearing intermittently. Colored backgrounds show up then disappear.

The background colour changes work ok for me. Note that they don't show very clearly in conversation view, especially if you have "highlight not grouped" set or whatever it is. Plus, the currently selected mail has its own highlight colour which over-rides everything else.
