color_regular_text_fg stays white when color_regular_text_bg is none :(
This is needed when terminal background is transparent.

Also, would be Groß if there will be an option to add senders to groups to whom you could assign colors. Like in ranger – colors differs by file type.

Also, for some strange reason, automatic profile switching in iTerm isn't working with nmail, but works great with nchat. "Job name" as I discovered is nmail (cat)

This is needed when terminal background is transparent.

Could you try setting bg to black and see if it works? I believe black is mapped to default background in the terminal, at least this works in macOS Terminal. Example:

color_regular_text_bg=black
color_regular_text_fg=0x5588bb

Example screenshot on macOS:

If this doesn't work, please let me know OS/distro and terminal used, and I'll check.

The question of more color customization has come up before, but I'm somewhat hesitant towards it. Anyway, please feel free to report a separate feature request for this, and we can gauge the interest among other users, and perhaps I'll need to reconsider.

Ideally I prefer we use one Github issue per question / bug / feature request in this project, but anyway - how about if you edit ~/.nmail/ui.conf and set terminal_title to something, I personally often set it to the email address of the account, example:

terminal_title=d99kris@example.com

Edit: If you still face issues regarding this, please report a separate issue for this, so we can keep this first Github issue to be about setting foreground color on a terminal background with opacity.
