--- Comment #2 from Ryan Volz <thrantastic at gmail.com> ---
I have the same problems running Gentoo with KMail 4.8.5.

1) Setting a text color for a tag works inconsistently. Creating many new tags
all at once, only the text color for the last-edited tag is remembered. This
can be worked around by clicking 'Apply' immediately after setting the text
color for a tag, in which case all of those colors are remembered. Changing a
text color only works after multiple tries (before it works, the color is set
to none), and I haven't figured out a pattern yet for that. 
2) I am unable to set an icon for a tag. No matter what I try, the tag always
reverts to no icon.
3) When applying a tag to an email, it is necessary to switch to another folder
and back (triggering a metadata refresh?) in order for the tag's text color to
take effect.
4) Multiple times in setting up my tags, multiple (2, 3, and I think 8 once)
blank, nameless tags would appear in the list when returning to a newly-opened
'Message Tags' tab to change settings or add new tags. These blank tags would
subsequently appear as options in other applications such as Dolphin, but with
a name consisting of a random string of characters. I searched my files for one
of these strings, and curiously it appeared as a tag identifier in my old
(KMail1) kmailrc. Thinking the old settings were somehow being loaded and
confusing KMail2, I renamed kmailrc to something else. Since then, I have not
had any blank tags appear.

Perhaps some of these observations can help in tracking down these bugs.
