We are testing dbmail on postgresql, which uses a bytea column to store the messages. Because of this searching through messages is case sensitive.

Does anyone know of a way to make it not case-sensitive, either by
changing the data type (obviously without breaking the current
functionality) or a Select Rule or any other method?


My suggestion would be to write a trigger and use tsearch to setup a full text index. Even if you manage a case-insensitive search method, I doubt it will be useful unless you always plan to have a small number of messages to search.
