SsinceI I moved from Leopard to Snow Leopard, all (system) label colours
have changed to different colours :( And lousy ones too -- hard to
distinguish. Finder does still show the right ones though.

I had kept an eye open for reports on probs with Eudora under Snow
Leopard, but had never heard of this one. Am I really the first and only
one to run into this? And more importantly: any idea how to fix this? (I
know, I guess not. But I have to ask ;))

They are lousy, aren't they?

It hadn't occurred to me to try to change the colours until you asked,
but some experimentation revealed that under Settings:Labels, if you
double-click the little coloured rectangle, it brings up a dialog box
where you can change the colour. If you have a mailbox open when the
label color is changed, the changes won't show up in the mailbox until
you close it and reopen it. I've gotten rid of that disgusting green
and changed it to a much better shade of green!

Those are the Eudora built-in labels. Their colours in fact survived
Snow Leopard just fine on my machine. My problem is with the label
colours that Eudora gets from the system. Those are screwed up since
Snow Leopard, and I can't figure out how to change them.

Ah! I misunderstood the problem. It might be that you can change them
in the System Preferences by mucking about with the display calibration;
I was afraid to try doing anything with that for fear I'm mess
everything up.
