The font size is way too small. I can temporarily increase the font size for each email I read or write. I can't find any setting or instructions online to permanently increase the font size.

    I see that many people want this, and this conversation was 2 years ago. I am sure the coding could be done by an intern for something so simple to roll out in the next update. Curious why it hasn't been done yet?

    Thank you

    It didn't work for me at first either, but I was RIGHT-clicking, and that just shows a completely different dialog box. Try "normal" clicking (left-click) and see if that works.

    One last update. Windows 11 solved my font size issue! Happy to report I can use magnifier (in Windows setting) to magnify any page - including the Outlook inbox. Still find it funny though the zoom in bottom right still doesn't increase font when looking at the inbox screen, but now I can use magnifier and it has increased the font size. Much better now!
