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.

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

Addition: My High-DPI coworkers are not complaining about excessively small fonts, so I think this is mostly a complaint about the Normal-DPI settings.

In Outlook (version 1806, build 10228.20021), the default font in Mail view had been changed to 8pt Segoe, even for important fields like Subject. This is way too small. 10 pt should be the minimum font size.

Solid Font in General Outlook options should be added for visually impaired. I can't read the column and causes headache and eye strain. Whomever changed the font to the current shadowed light font failed to consider the whole population.

As I now need reading glasses the inability to change the size of the font in the folder or navigation panel is a real pain. I can either change the resolution on the screen and ***** up the amount I can see on screen in other applications or I constantly have to lean forward and peer at it with my glasses on.

C'mon MS. How difficult can this be? As it stands the font size is dependant upon screen resolution, In my case it looks tiny. You used to be able to change it in earlier versions of Outlook. Not everyone has 20/20 vision!

Please allow the font size in the folder pane to be adjustable. It is far too large.

Hasn't anyone noticed the font looks like garbage?? Once upon a time it looked fine, the same as all other UI's. No longer with my jump from v2010 to 2016.
What is this..? Some JPEG compression of HTML rendering buried inside some .NET wrapped browser wanna-be?
The characters are clipped, the aliasing noise is disgusting, the rendering is gross.
It is NOT the font that someone picked when it was composed. It's the rendering. This is the same fonts in the same emails, from the same people I've been reading for 8 years. But the new app looks like garbage. -

I work on a service desk and our users can't believe that you can't change the font on the navigation pane.
-
Jeanne commented
Allow users to adjust navigation pane formats such as font size, color and style. No selection that you choose will be appropriate for everyone.... let people customize to meet their own needs.

Antony commented
Adjust the font size on the reading pane on a permanent basis.

The Winaero Tweaker has helped a little, but MS has defaulted the system font to a choice of their own. The list of emails in every folder look spidery & thin, as well as the To/From/cc field.

If we could have the choice of the size of letters on the tools bars ect... that would be great. Because I feel that you need a good pair of glasses or 20/20 vision to look at your screen for a long time and not have a headache
