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.

allow more flexibility with folder, being able to highlight or bold specific folders by right clicking would be great. the new email is surprisingly rigid you would think there would be more customization, I live in my email and it very important that I be able to navigate without having to work so hard to find things.

I need to make the font size of my folders in the very left panel bigger, it is hard for me to see as I have bad vision.

I have had Outlook 2016 for about 2 weeks now and nothing but headaches! The color scheme is pretty much damaging to our eyes, and the inability to change the font size (folders) renders this feature basically unusable. Did you miss the memo that a lot of us are getting OLDER??? I've never put a lot of emphasis on customization before, but that was before I NEEDED it for functionality! Please give us an email interface that won't cause daily eyestrain and headaches... maybe go back to the old one???

I would love to be able to change the font size for folders, headers, everything in Outlook. Font is large on some items and tiny on others

Can we get an option to increase the size of the fonts in email headers. When I open an email, the date is tiny and the sender's email address is huge.

Outlook 2016 - Please provide an option to change the font size in the folder pane. I have to have a larger font on my computer. Please update this sooner than later!

Within (View -> Change view -> Manage Views -> Compact (or any view) -> Modify -> Other Settings -> Column Headings and Rows & Message Preview)
These font settings will only apply to the folder contents preview screen. They are not applied to any of the other fonts throughout the UI (i.e. Navigation Pane, Ribbon, Reading Pane, etc.). For people that are trying to use larger monitors to reduce eye strain, it would be nice if Outlook either automatically increased size of font to match the scaling difference from a small screen (i.e. laptop) to a larger monitor. Or, to enable users to adjust the fonts as they are able to do within folders.

As someone with challenged vision, I find Outlook 2016 more difficult to see. I have had to turn on reading pane in order to zoom my emails so I can read them. But I really don't like using reading pane. I have found a way to increase the font size in my emails list, which is helpful, but other than that, everything in Outlook looks too small (icons, calendar list, mailbox list, etc). I can find no way to enlarge these things a little bit so that I can look at them without straining my eyes. Please provide an easy way to customize Outlook appearance for people who are visually challenged.

The ability to change the font size in mail folders exists, but the far left menu's fonts can't be readily changed within the app. I'm ok with the top menu - it's the menu on the left that I'd like to see have size options.
The resolution on my monitor is high and sharp, but the overall font is just a bit small. I can increase the font or lower the resolution - but then things are just not as sharp when I do that.

With the latest update, the default font is TOO SMALL. I keep changing it where i can, but in some places, I can't. Please change it back!

Please restore the default font size in Outlook to what it was prior to the update.

whose bright idea was it to update outlook and make the font tiny? Then for there to be no resolution other than having to go into EACH folder/tab to enlarge...

I can't read the To and CC fields - the font text size is too small (and I have a decent sized monitor). This needs to be changed, or the user needs to have an option to change

In the latest update the font size on my dual monitor setup changed to be really small. Why has this suddenly changed, and why can't I change the font size for the To and CC fields?

Outlook has become the only app that I need to use High-DPI. Thank you so much for making hard coding a ****** font size.
