Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select Settings.

Step 2 — Open Highlighting

Select Highlighting from the Mail section of the settings sidebar.

Step 3 — Create a highlighting filter

Fill in the Create New Highlighting Rule form (blue), then click Add:

• Title — a name for the filter.
• If — choose a field (From, To, Cc, To or cc, or Subject) and enter the term it should Contain (for example a sender's address).
• Colour — pick the colour to highlight matching messages with.
