I was helping my mom try to change the background of an email she was writing in Mail, and I couldn't figure out how to do it. So i searched Mail help for backgrounds and they said go into rules in preferences.

So I added a rule that said all messages > change message background to blue. I didn't realize it meant highlight the messages in your inbox that color, I thought it would just change the background for emails you were writing.

So I deleted that rule, but it didn't change back. All of the messages in my mom's inbox are now blue and I can't change it back... help!

Make a rule that changes them to white. After they're all changed, delete the rule.
