How can I in Outlook 2019, add a custom icon (using View Settings --> Columns --> Custom fields in inbox --> New Column) - that is triggered by a header?

I get the following options:

Name

Type

Format


What I want to do, is to add a little green checkmark or green shield icon, that is triggered by the header "Authentication-Results" having the string "spf=pass" somewhere and in the same way, have a red crossed-over shield icon, or a red cross, if "Authentication-Results" contains "spf=softfail" or "spf=hardfail" somewhere.


In this way, I could at a glance see if the email from my bank asking for info, is genuine or not.

I would rather not have to write a script or filter or similiar, but simply have icons that are triggered by the headers, if its possible to add such icons?


The only icons I have found that is triggered by headers are:

X-Priority, where a value of 5 triggers a "exclamation mark" icon, and a value of 1 triggers a "downwards arrow" icon.

Is there some more header-triggered icons in Outlook 2019 that I could "recycle" and use for other things? (Im the email administrator and have the possibility to set/unset any header inside the email server, based on genuinity or authentication checks)

If there is a list of all header-triggered icons in the mail view, and which headers that need to be set to trigger them.


I tried with Sensitivity: company-confidental in the hope of generating some "key" or "lock" icon, but instead it just added a text notification to the email message to treat the email as confidental, and the "column" value for "Sensitivity" adds a extra line in the mail view, instead of having it as a icon.

Is it possible somehow to add custom text notifications/messages to a email using a header? Tried with "Sender flag" but that feature seems to have been scrapped.
