There are no Windows Mail color settings. You will have to change the System
color settings.
Start - Control Panel - Personalization -
Window Color and Appearance
open classic appearance properties
Advanced

Well I think that's a side bar I can change the page color easy enough
but not the
area to the left of the page .

That area is called the Folders pane.
I don't know of any way to change its color.
