Set the UIApplication statusBarStyle in the completion block of presentViewController for your MFMailComposeViewController. i.e.

    MFMailComposeViewController *mailVC = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
    [self.navigationController presentViewController:mailVC animated:YES completion:^{
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];
    }];

You may also need to add and/or set "View controller-based status bar appearance" to NO in your Info.plist file.
