Email Viewing Size

I have  just moved to Apple from a PC after 15 years. Love it but some minor hassles I would appreciate help on
I have a 21.5" screen iMac on OS X Lion 10.7.2 and when compiling emails the font is tiny. I have the font set at 12 but on the screen it is tiny. Receievd emails are also tiny but I can at least cmd+ to increase the size on the screen but can't do to produce new or when replying to emails.
Also I can't change the font colour on new emails from black

Thank you for responding.  After investigating and checking further, it was clear that only one of your suggestions changes the font size of the list of emails, also called the In-box.  And that is the display resolution.
However, changing the display resolution affects the dots per inch of everything, everywhere and makes it larger.
Given the high end fee Apple charges for their products, and the generally well developed software they provide, it is hard to imagine they have not corrected this obvious slight of effort on the inbox text. At times Apple's "one-size-fits-all" and "it's our way or no way" mentality astounds me and makes me want to run back to Microsoft.
Evidently this is a well known mistake, which has yet to receive any attention.
Again, thank you for your effort and assistance on my behalf.

  • HT4759 outlook viewing size

    hi
    Not sure i am putting question at right platform as i tried a lot however was unable to contact apple via e-mail. I have recently purchased macbook pro retina and use Microsoft outlook 2011 and Thunderbird email client, for my office and personal mails respectively.
    I have been a windows user in past and one problem i see with both clients is viewing size of email fonts. If font size is increased may be it helps but then the recipient will also get large fonts. On other hand Command + also works but not to all windows of the interface.
    Thus i am left with option of viewing mails with such a small font size. I am also planning to use 21 inch Samsung LED in office with my macbook. As being 6"3 in height it helps me to have good posteur in office. However on that screen i am sure the mail size will be very very small.
    I request apple to look at this critical issue in their next OS launch and anybody who can give me a solution will be highly appreciated.
    best regards

    Apple don't make either Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird. If those two applications do not have preferences to set the font size of emails (I'm sure Outlook does - its predecessor Entourage did) then the makers of those applications would need to add it. Apple cannot add features to other companies applications.
    Mac OS X already has options for increasing font size, and making text easier to read for people with eyesight problems.

    Can you drag the bottom right corner? You can in Snow Leopard, and I imagine you can in Lion.

  • How can I disable a hover link in the phone view size?

    Hola
    How can I disable a hover link in the phone view size?
    I got this site where I got a gallery page,
    the pics have a hover/link state (?) where as you click in them
    they will open a bigger pic. (Prettyphoto)
    Thanks good.
    What I want to do, is that the hover state (?)
    won't show in the phone size.
    I know that I will need a media queries, but I'm not sure
    where or how to tackle this problem.
    This is the code where I have the pics
    <div class="grid_3 project-item bar">
                                             <figure class="project-img">
                                                 <img src="../images/gallery_pics/memos_bar_s5.jpg" alt="Memo's Cocina & Tequila Bar" />
                                                    <div class="overlay"></div>
                                                    <div class="mask">
                                                       <a class="icon-image"
                                                            href="../images/gallery_pics/memos_bar_b5.jpg"
                                                            rel="prettyphoto[gallery]"
                                                            title="The Bar">
                                                            <i class="icon-search"></i>
                                                     </a></div>
                                           </figure>
                                          </div>
    Thanks for your help

    If you don't want a :hover state to show in the phone css of a fluid grid layout, you would remove it from the global settings and only include it in the tablet and desktop media queries.
    Or are you trying to do something else?

  • Default View Size In My Own Template

    I have created a template of my own called “My Template” and have set it to open automatically as a new document in preferences. Everything works great except it opens at 100% view size I want it to open at 150% view size, I’ve tried saving it as a template to the templates folder as the same name as above and it retains all my changes except view size. Is there any way to save the default view size of a template so it opens at 150% ? When I save a template as a document it remembers my view size and reopens at the larger saved view size but my saved template reopens at 100% not matter what I do!

    Actually my mistake I just read the instructions for pasting the text below into the terminal window and then press "Enter" NOT "return". I was pressing return which didn't work so the line of code below does work to set the default Zoom on a template.
    defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
    Complete instructions below:
    1. Go to Applications > Utilities, and double click the Terminal icon.
    2. In the window that comes up, paste the following text:
    defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages SLDefaultsPageScale 1.25
    3. Press the enter key.
    Next time you open Pages, the zoom factor will be 250%.
    (If you want some other zoom factor, just replace "2.50" with for example "2.25" for 225% or "0.50" for 50% and so on.)

  • Why is there a maximum email attachment size?

    I can understand why there is a maximum MMS file message size but why is there a maximum email attachment size set by the handset? The limit is preventing me sending pictures from my phone. MMS messages are charged at a flat rate but GPRS data is chared per kB. My operator, Tmobile, say they have no limit on email message sizes (and obviously they make more money if you send a larger file. If I transfer my sim card to my laptop or PDA I am able to send any size of attachment with no problem. But with the sim back in the handset a limit of 100kB is imposed. I get the same result using both Tmobile or Orange sims. This is especially annoying if you have a phone that produces high quality images with file sizes several times the limit. You can have a great image with no means of sending it at its original resolution. Anyone know why this is?

    Most operator's (carrier's) MMSC (Multimedia Messaging Service Center) servers do set a limit.
    What the MMS size limit that's guaranteed to go through is defined by a document known as the MMS Conformance Document (maintained by OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, which is a standardization organization by mobile device manufacturers and network operators, primarily).
    So, both the handsets (phones) may or may not have a size limit depending on how it was designed, and in addition the networks also have their own limits, and they do not need to be the same, but the doc I mentioned specifies what the devices and networks have to support, at least.
    More on OMA (and you can try to find the MMS Conformance Doc, if you wish):

  • Upgrade to 4.5 device software on Telus Pearl 8130: HTML Email viewer doesn't work

    I just upgraded the software on my Telus Mobility (Canada) BlackBerry Pearl 8130 (from 4.3).
    One of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade was to take advantage of the HTML email viewer (yeah!  finally!).
    My installation went fine, and the View Messages in HTML option is enabled (was by default, have verified it again).
    On my first test email that I sent to myself from my Yahoo account to my default ISP email account, here's what happened.  The Yahoo email uses a very simple "stationery" as background, consisting of two small graphic files, one in the upper left and one in the lower right.  In between those two graphics is the text you wish to write.  So I put the words "test test" in the text portion and sent it to myself.
    When the email was received on the Pearl, indeed I saw the two graphics.  However, the text was not displayed.
    That was the first attempt.  The second attempt produced no graphics at all.
    I also tried sending myself an email using some formatting, like bold fonts, different text colors, underline and one jpg file.  None of the formatting came through, and the jpg came through as an attachment (instead of in the the body of the email where it was placed).  When I tried to open the jpg, by clicking on "1 Attachment", I got an error stating that it is an unrecognized file type and cannot be opened.
    So it appears that the upgrade took 1 step forward and 3 backwards.
    Anyone experience this, and if so, is there a fix, either now or in the works?  Does RIM Support read these forums?
    Telus Tech Support said that something is being done but they weren't too specific.
    I have another upgrade-related question regarding Documents to Go, but I'll post that in a separate thread.

    hello,
    about your Bluetooth problem, I suggest you one a new discussion on the decicated board called "BlackBerry Accessories". ou will find there experts about Bluetooth.
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/board?board.id=accessories
    about the third point : it usually takes a long time for the device to emerge after a battery pull. It's quite common, you can't do anything about it.
    about the second point. In my opinion there at least one picture that is corrupted (or one index file).
    in the folder containing that image, do you have many images ? Let's call that folder A.
    I suggest you to move them one by one into another folder B, then scroll through the folder A.
    it will certainly reset a few times, until at one point it wont' freeze, meaning the folder A does not contain the corrupted image anymore.
    you then know that the last image moved from A to B is the culprit.

  • Mailbox viewing size and configuration has changed.

    Incoming Mailbox view has always appeared as nearly full screen, but recently as a reduced-size rectangle showing only four rows of new message titles above the contents of first message.

  • Max "viewing" size for photos?

    I did some searches here but didn't seem to find what I needed.
    Question: When a viewer clicks on a thumbnail to see the larger pic, can I change the "viewing size" (not the download size) to a larger dimension?....say..850 wide for landscape.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    If you want to show off your images in a bigger size you could forget about the Photo template and load your thumbs onto a blank page. Make each one a link to a new page where you can put the enlargement as big as you want. You could probably increase the page width to at least 1200 px without it running off the average screen.
    To stop your navigation menu getting out of hand you would exclude all these "enlargement" pages from the navigation in the "page" inspector and provide a "back" button to return to the thumbs.

  • Default Viewing Size

    Since upgrading from CS5 to CC images open with a default viewing size that is very small, like 3 - 5 %.  Can this be changed to "Fit to View"  I know that it is just a case of COmmand-0 to make it that size, but one less thing to do would be nice.
    Thanks
    Craig

    Here's what I think is happening:
    1.  You didn't realize that the Application Frame is just an option, so you dragged the bottom up so that Photoshop is a very short window.
    2.  You later turned off the Application Frame while it was very short.
    3.  Under some conditions, now Photohshop still thinks it wants to open documents and make them fit in the (now hidden) short application frame.
    Try this:
    Re-enable the Application Frame.
    Stretch the bottom of the Photoshop window down so that it (nearly) fills your screen.
    Disable the Application Frame again.

  • Is it possible to change dynamicaly VC table view size (width/heigth)?

    Hi gurus!
    So the question is: Is it possible to change dynamicaly Visual Composer table view size?
    Particularly I'm interested in changing table-view height; the objective is not to use table-view paging option, instead to show all returned data rows at once.
    Thanks in advance!
    --- Kaspars

    Hi Kaspars,
    I would say there is atm no possibility to change the table view size dynamicly, because you can't input a formula into the size field so the size is fixed as you enter it.

  • PDF adjust view size

    Hi there!. When saving a PDF file in Illustrator, what should I do so people who opens the file can see the document ALWAYS as "adjust height" view size?
    Hope you can help me!

    There is nothing you can do. This is completely out of your control. While you can define a default view for your PDF, the user can override such settings on his own end.

  • Email Attachment Size Etiquette

    I'm looking for opinions on what is the biggest "polite" email attachment size.
    By this I mean.. how big of a file can you send without calling them to make sure they aren't out of the country for a week because your huge attachment will fill their mailbox and reject all incoming mail for the next three days and it's your fault... Oh and it's your most important client... (I swear this hasn't happened.)
    I'm thinking it is still around 5MB. What are your thoughts.

    Internally in an enterprise, 5MB
    Externally, 1MB, and usually zipped.
    I'd be annoyed if someone was sending me 5MB mails to my iphone over EDGE!
