I much prefer reading white text on a black background. Is it possible for me to configure Mail.app so that messages are displayed white-on-black instead of the other way around?

Yup. Go to preferences -> Fonts & Colors -> click "Select" on "Message font" -> do your thing. :)

  • I can use this to change the font, but the "Text Color" and "Document Color" options don't actually seem to do anything.

    My bad. Seems like you're right. I've tried Google but all results seem to point to the fact that you're stuck with the default colour. Sorry.

The more universal way to do this is to turn the entire screen opposite (White on Black).

System Preferences > Accessibility > Display > Invert Colors

You can assign a hotkey in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Accessibility > Invert colors

Default shortcut is: ctrl + option + cmd + 8
