Additional information:

As assigned color is only stored on client side, I could remove all
assigned color with
% rm -Rf ~/evolution/mail/imap/guenther my imap server/

Attention: That works for IMAP accounts. I dont't know, in which files
of an POP3 account that info is stored. I assume one of the additional
non mbox files. But really be sure not to remove your mbox files!

Maybe that helps -- at least it really gets rid of that color, instead
of overwriting it with black.
