I can sympathize. ;-)  

N.B.: this list isn't an official form of support.  Technically, I'm in
QA, and I'm mostly supposed to monitor this list for bug reports, but as
long as I'm here, I try to be helpful.

One doesn't send mail via IMAP.  Maybe you need to use SMTP? Maybe the
usernames and passwords are different for the two?

I'm not sure of a way to change the color.  The current behavior is to
have unread in bold.  If bold isn't distinguishable from not-bold, the
preferred solution is to switch to a font that makes the two more
distinguishable.

Like Bob said, with caveats.
