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.

The header needs to have a darker type, the monochromatic lines and text get washed out with any sun coming in from the window.

The font is absolutely too small in the Folder Pane. I'm not sure why all of the other view elements would have options for modification, while the Folder Pane does not. I suppose if the default Folder Pane were at least legible that would not matter, but it is terribly small, even for those with great eyesight. Please fix this.

I am 49 years old and my eyesight is not capable of reading the very small, minute text that is currently the default for the folder text. I am really struggling to read the To and From detail when typing in email addresses, which is important obviously so that I don't send the email to an incorrect address! This version of Outlook isn't very good for us older employees and could cost us our jobs!

30 years in development and something as simple as changing a font size is still missing. Patetic!

There is no possibility of the font size of the folders in the navigation area (far left in Outlook 2016) ... why is that gone?
Possibility to add the font size of the folders in the Outlook 2016 navigation area. -

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE increase the default text size in Outlook or at least provide users with an option to do so. 11 is much too small. I have a difficult time reading the folder names and it is such a pain to ZOOM in for EVERY single message over and over again so I can see it. I have altered the DPI/Resolution on my computer but it messes up other things I need to work on. Having to change everything because of ONE program is ridiculous. It'd switch platforms if work would let me this bothers me so much. It is destroying my eyes.

Since half of Americans over 60 are getting cataracts, change Outlook mail list to black.

The ability to increase the font size of folder names is a critical need.
This has become especially acute with newer 4K screens (including those from Microsoft, ie Surface). The folder names on 4K screens are tiny, and, especially for those of us that are over the age of 50, very difficult to read.
The current workarounds that involve changing Windows 10 display settings are useless if using Remote Desktop, which, again, is the way Microsoft wants us to go.
This must be fixed for Outlook 2019 as well as Outlook 2016. -

The older I get the bigger the screens, and as a result the resolution gets higher and higher and the letters get smaller and smaller. It is very hard to read the names of the folders, and I need to move emails to folders which I cannot really read the whole day. This has to be changed immediately.

It is unbelievable that we do not have the option of increasing the font size of the navigation/folder pane. The font size is very tiny and I have difficulty reading the folder names. For some reason we are able to increase the font reading pane (which I have done) but not the folder pane.

In Outlook 365, in the Folder Pane, please allow us to change the font size and line spacing. The way it is now, it is a productivity killer having to perform additional navigation to get to the desired folders.

The font that is used to display the mail in the Inbox and other mailboxes is not easy for me to read. I want to be able to change it. I have looked but am not finding where I can do so. Please advise if that is possible or, if it is not, please consider allowing us to make the change.

Having been forced to migrate to Windows10 by my company I can honestly say it is the worst UE I have ever had. The lack of ability to change things is annoying to say the least. Why oh why did you do it microsoft? When will you give the user back their choice? I am just happy I can download to my Mac and use a proper interface. Even Yahoo is better.

Our firm just transitioned to Win10/O365 and we have had a number of complaints about the font size of the folders in Outlook, the reading Pane, Calendar, etc.

Us older folks with newer high-resolution screen need to see Outlook Navigation / Folder pane in larger font. It was possible to customize that prior to Outlook 2016. Many said that feature was removed but I find that hard to believe such a fine firm like Microsoft would deliberately remove that feature. Please investigate this oversight and tell us how we can now select fonts for the left pane. Thank you!

The screen resolution options suck. I would like to increase my font size without blurring the text. Not an option as far as I can tell. 2016 sucks
