MAIL App: Font Size Changing ?

[Robert4]

Hello,

Re the iMac MAIL APP:

a. How do I change the font size for the eMails that have arrived, and I want to read ?
Really a small font, I just don't see the option anywhere.

b. And, how do I change the font size for the items on the left side; e.g., where the Folders
are shown, etc.

Thanks,
Bob

Once in Mail, use command + to increase font, command - to decrease font. Or from the Menu - Format | Style | Bigger/Smaller.

You can change the size of the sidebar icons in Mail through your System Preferences.
System Preferences/General pane. Change the Sidebar icon size there. Both Mail, and Finder window Sidebar are affected by that setting. The sidebar text is affected when you change the icon size, but maybe not as much as you might hope. Give it a try to see what you think.

OS X (and now macOS) is not known for allowing much change in how the system looks. If the simple sidebar icons don't give you enough control, then there are some font settings that you can try in a utility, such as Tinkertool. I don't know if even TinkerTool can change sidebar fonts in Mail. You would need to try that out...

And on the Mail window,s maller and bigger 'A' does that also.
