            Bug ID: 408840
           Summary: contradictive behaviour in marking messages
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.10.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY:
I use message-marking in kmail for accounting bills.

I basically use 3 unique categories (i use this term for the different
markings):

"unpaid" (setting the background-color to YELLOW)
"paid" (bg set to GREEN)
"reminded" (bg set to RED)

And one general "Mastercategory" named "# Buchhaltung" (german for accounting)
where this category doesnt define any colors at all.

But there is no way to use them in any cumulative way .. like:
an accounting-related mail may be only one of the color-categories
(red/green/yellow) but it is always member of the (colorless)
accounting-category.

But only one of them (first by sort order) is taking effect while others are
ignored/overruled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. mark an email as "accounting"(colorless)
2. mark the same email as "RED"

OBSERVED RESULT

marked mail stays in the default colorscheme as if not marked at all

EXPECTED RESULT

since only one of the markings actively sets a backgroundcolor , i would expect
it to be RED .. but is stay colorless albeit that category doesnot force any
backgroundcolor at all.

Workaround for me now is: I moved the colorless-category after the
colored-categories .. to avoid this affect .. not sure how it is really
planned, but i wouldnt expect settings to be ignored like this.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
opensuse 15.1
