Windows 10’s Mail app comes with some stock images and preset solid colors from which you can choose one for the background. However, if you want to set a custom background color, such as plain white, you can do so by creating an image file using Paint.<\/p>\n

Setting Mail App Background Image or Color<\/h2>\n

Open Windows 10 Mail app, and click Settings \u2013 gear icon in the bottom left.<\/p>\n

Click Personalization. The Personalization panel has 10 predefined color choices, and also allows you to set the current Windows Accent color as the Mail app background.<\/p>\n

To set a white background, open Paint and create a tiny image file and save it (“white.jpg”) and close Paint.<\/p>\n

Switch to the Mail app, click Browse in the Personalization window and select the image file you created.<\/p>\n

This changes the Mail app background to plain white.<\/p>\n

Removing the Custom Image from Personalization panel<\/h2>\n

The Mail app converts the custom image file to .jpg if the origin file format is different, and copies it to the following location.<\/p>\n

%LocalAppData%\\Packages\\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState<\/pre>\n
The converted file is named “bg.jpg”<\/strong>. To clear the custom image thumbnail from the Personalization panel in Mail app, browse the above path using File Explorer and simply delete this file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
