Provide an option to allow font size to be changed or customized and same in Microsoft Outlook 2016
Provide an option to allow font size to be changed in Microsoft Outlook 2016 including the font and colors for the folder pane. Also make it possible to customize the fonts for Mail, People, Calendar on module basis. Also, Allow user to make a permanent (default setting) change to the font and size template for mail created in Outlook 2016 under Windows 10, not just on a mail-by-mail basis.
Also, set a default font that is always applied to my tasks. They change depending upon the email moved to tasks.
Also, Please give us a way to make the fonts and lines darker on the email form so that they can be easier to see and use. They are just to light and hard to read.

MS Outlook 2016 is very hard to read due to the lightness of the fonts. Why did you ever change from the 2007 appearance. As I am typing right now the fonts are so easy to read - nice and dark. What can I do to get the visual display back to like it was on the 2007 Outlook?

Allow user control of font size in incoming mail messages BEYOND THE CONDITIONAL FORMATTING. WAY TOO SMALL.

My email comes in at such a small font size as to be nearly unreadable. It sure gives me a headache when reading a lengthy email. There is no way I can find to increase the size of font. I can increase the size when writing an email, but not when they come in. When someone responds to my email, my font is reverted back to microscopic size again. Maybe I should consider giving up on corresponding by emails.

Please provide an option to define and apply font and font size settings for ALL folders and sub folders in one operation. Currently when a user has multiple folders, the font update must be done for each folder. This is not user friendly. It is painstaking and timeconsuming.

I have been working with Microsoft since the beginning. Never have I had an issue with an upgrade until 2 weeks ago moving to 2016. Outlook 2016 found is super hard to read. I have almost 20/20 vision and do not wear glasses but I feel like I need to go get some for this software. Very disappointed. I am wondering if there are options for people having trouble. By the end of the day my eyes are wiped out exhausted and sore. Need a fix for this issue ASAP.

We should be able to change the size of the To:/From:/Cc: rows at the the top of emails - those of us who are visually impaired have a hard time reading the type in those boxes.

As a further comment, I use Outlook 2007. Ten years old I know, but quite frankly anything else after that is not efficient to this user. Each time MS rolls out a new version, they drop something useful. Whoever is advising Microsoft to do this is not having to use Outlook intensively every day. BUT the cause of the alteration to all the Outlooks (incl 2007) is OS upgrade 1709. THAT IS THE CULPRIT.
Winaero Tweaker has helped considerably with the list of FOLDERS on the left, but the default font for INBOX items is not what I have chosen. MS Forum tells me what I see is currently the default font. they have chosen. After complaining about this, I did notice only today 27 Feb that MS has altered the default font again, making it darker. An improvement - thank you, but I really do want to have my own choice of font reflected.
In the scheme of things technical I cannot believe this is insurmountable to MS. It is absolutely not on for you to dictate about this very important facility. You knew that OS 1709 would have this effect and yet you rolled it out. Not good business practice in my opinion; nor is taking away DISPLAY option from Control Panel. My overriding thought is: why would MS want to control this aspect of their product so much; what's the rationale for this uncooperative behaviour?

When will there be a solution to this problem. The loss of this functionality for those who need a larger font size is unacceptable!

Since upgrading to 1709 users font of choice is not being reflected in INBOX. Mail Folders on the left take up user's font choice, but when looking at a list of the contents in Inbox you have given us a very poor, thin, spidery font. I am told that this is currently the default look. Why does MS keep taking away useful functions with every upgrade; what's going on? I need to see my Inbox in the font & size of my choice. I have 2,000 emails there, Outlook is my main tool and I need to be able to find an old email quickly.

Grey text on grey background... every day I spend hours staring at that grey, brutalist, interface. I lament how grey eight hours of my day have become. Removing the ability to choose the color of the folder pane was a needless cruelty.

There is so much wasted vertical space within in the folder pane. I would like the ability to tighten up the layout by making folder names tighter vertically.

The fonts in 2016 are terrible and cause eye strain. User's need the old winxp fonts.

In older versions of Outlook, you could change the font size of the list of folders in the Folder Pane. Why was that removed? The default font is WAY too small for people with poor eyesight!

We need to be able to customize the font size in TO, FROM, CC, SUBJECT LINE, etc. It is way too small - impossible to work with this all day without making my eyes hurt. ALSO: need to be able to change SUBJECT LINE
