Question

The instructions on how to increase font size in emails only worked on my responses but did not increase the size of incoming emails.

Try going to "System Preferences," then go to "Select Displays," and click "Scaled." Finally, select a lower resolution. If you see icons with different-sized previews of text, select the icon that says "Larger Text," and click "OK."

Question

The only size options are 14, which is too small, and 18, which is too large. Is there a way to set the font size to 16?

Community Answer

On the email writing page, there should be a place for font sizes. Depending on your OS, there might be an "Aa" icon you can click.

Question

I have a Mac. How do I increase the font size of addresses in the address list?

Corpbizlegal

Community Answer

In most email clients, you can't directly increase the font size of addresses in the address list. The size is usually determined by the email client's settings and themes. However, you can try changing the overall font size in your email client's settings, which might affect the size of the addresses as well.

Question

How can I make the email address itself darker in the Mac Mail program on version 11.1? It remains such a light grey that it doesn't print on documents.

No Name

Community Answer

Some printers allow you to adjust print quality settings directly from the printer's preferences pane, which might include options to increase the darkness or contrast of printed documents. This could help make lighter text, like the grey email addresses, more visible when printed.

Question

I followed these instructions, but for some emails, the print is still tiny. Is there a setting to ensure all my emails display in the font size I specify, regardless of the sender?

To ensure all emails display with your preferred font size on a Mac, go to Mail, then Mail > Mail Settings > Fonts and Colors. From there, you can choose a font size that suits your comfort.
