Currently, if a user prefers using Dark Mode for the overall interface but wants to view or compose emails with a white/light background, there isn’t an option to lock that preference in.
I’m proposing a setting similar to what Outlook offers, where users can:
Use Dark Mode for the UI (sidebar, inbox, navigation).
Keep emails in white/light view by default both for reading and composing.
Choose this behavior in Settings, so it persists across sessions (no need to toggle it every time).
Your idea is now live and open for voting.
