  • Open the mail folder in which you want to enlarge the letters, for example Inbox.
  • In the Ribbon, click on the tab Image.
  • In the ‘Current view’ group, click Display settings.
  • A new window will appear. click on Other settings.

The ‘Other settings’ window opens. There are a few options: ‘Font for column’, ‘Font for row’ and ‘Font’. Adjust the font size of all of these options to see what happens.

  • click on Font for column, Row Font or Font style.
  • Under points, click on the desired font size. By default, ‘8’ is set, so that’s the size you started with. Select a number greater than 8.
