Allow us to change the font, its size and choice of style for the to, cc, bcc and subject lines of email
Allow us to change the font, its size, and style for the to, cc, bcc and subject lines of an email. I have checked online and lots of people have this problem, no fix has been suggested. July 24, 2018

I will be the 56th person commenting on the fact that you cannot change the font size on the to, cc, bcc, and subject line of an email. Seems like people have made comments on this before and Microsoft is not doing anything about it. Some day the computer programmers will need glasses....There is no reason for the font sizes to be different in an email! I want the subject line in an email to be a size I can actually see. I have a high resolution screen and the settings are already on 200%... jeez... people. Get it together and make it easier to set fonts. The settings should be the same across the board...not in 20 different places, and then some you can't change!

I'm using my Gmail account on outlook. Whenever I send an email from outlook, the to, cc, bcc and subject lines of the previous email I reply to appears to have a larger font on my Gmail interface. Can we ensure consistency please?

Subject line in Outlook is very small & can't increase the font size there.

When I have a meeting occurrence that has more than two lines' worth of invitees, I have to use the tiny scroll buttons to move through the whole list, and I can't see the entire list at once. I would like to be able to resize the box to display more than two lines of invitees.

Have the option to minimize From, To, Cc, etc fields when writing an email. It takes too much space on my small laptop screen. If I want to have a larger visible portion of my email, I have to go to Options, then remove the CC and BCC fields temporarily. It would be great to be able to simply minimize it (or unpin it), just like the Message, insert, etc toolbar at the top of an email.
without having to remove them in "Options". Takes too much space when using small laptop screen

Is there a way to make the font size larger in To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject line. As it is now, it is too small at point 5 or 6.

In Outlook, the Subject line should also feature of Font (Font / Size / Colour etc.) changes like one can do in Mail body. At present, Subject line font is fixed.

The Send, To, CC button or icon are too large compare with previous version. Please resize it.

The most recent update to Outlook has massively increased padding around various UI elements, most notably the To:, Cc: and Subject lines as well as above and below each individual mail item in the left hand column. The result is that on a 1080p monitor, the mail list is down to ten emails onscreen at a time, and the email body window itself has dipped below 50% of the entire screen real estate.
This is harming productivity (so much scrolling) and the default Outlook UI is beginning to feel like a 90s web browser on a public computer where someone has installed a dozen dodgy toolbars. Please understand that not everyone is using a 4k monitor.

Have ability to increase the size of the font in the distribution list in New Email (the names inserted in the To, Cc and Bcc boxes). You can vary the font size in all other parts of a new email message except the email address the emails being sent to.

Well, after spending close to an hour trying to change the font size in To:, Cc: and Bcc, fields, I can see here that I was wasting my time. Please fix this with an update. I suspect this change was made by someone that only uses a phone or tablet so the screen is always right in their face. There are still a lot of folks sitting at desks with computers and the screens are 2 or more feet away from their faces.
PLEASE FIX THIS!!

The Outlook Update for the Semi-Annual Channel Version 1908 (Build 11929.20648) is absolutely terrible. No matter what color theme you choose (Colorful, Dark Grey, Black, White) - there is absolutely no contrast and is terrible for 1) Design and 2) Accessibility.
I have since deprecated the Office Version I was using because the newest version is virtually unusable and does not make people's lives better.

The To, From and Subject title is too big for the new update in the Outlook office. It consumes half of the screen and we don't need the Enlarged Subject. It consumes most of the screen and it is harder to read the actual email

I'm using Outlook on Windows 10 1909 PC with latest versions.
If I use a higher display scale of 125 or 150% and I create a new email, the email header fields "From / To / Cc / Bcc" need more than the half of the display. The text in this fields is also very small. I don't understand why the size of this header fields is so high.
Please reduce this size per default. I also suggest a possibility to adjust the size of this header.
