How can I increase the font size in the Apple Mail app window?

My 83yo mother has been having trouble with Mail on her iMac. The font size used to be quite large in the app window, but it is back to normanl. How can I increase the size so it defaults to large when opened?
thanks

Hi Bob,
In Mail>Preferences>Fonts & Colors you can set the size for several areas of Mail...

    how can I increase the capacity of a window disk in Parallels

    Look in the Parallels help menus in Parallels or on the Parallels site. Your question has nothing to do with Windows compatibility.
    Once you get to the the proper menu item settings you will have a slider to increase/decrease the size. Just move the slider in the direction to increase.

  • Why or how can I download the Apple Store App for my windows 8 mobil phone

    I want to download the app for apple store to my windows phone, I find it really  confusing that my computer which supports windows 7 home premium can download apple store app and my phone with the newer windows software cannot,  why and it not why not make sure that it is known before people upgrade or change to the newer phone

    You can't. The Apple Store app is for iOS devices and is not available for Windows Phone, nor can any other iOS app run on your Windows Phone. You'll have to use whatever web browser your phone provides if you want to shop the Apple Store.  And no, there is no Apple Store app for Windows on a computer either. Perhaps you're thinking of iTunes and the iTunes Store?
    Regards.

  • HT203253 How can I reinstall The Apple Store App?

    I have MacBook Air 13.3 Mid 2008, suddenly the Apple Store App stopped working properly. It could lunch and display apps in apple store and even accept purchase and installation process but never succeeded. It would kept on loading until I quit it! So I thought if I uninstall and run software update it will come up again, but unfortunately it didn't show up. I have been told to reinstall the system by holding down "Command + R" keys upon restart. I did that severally but it pops up login window instead of the menu list for installation guide.
    Any idea will be appreciated.

    You will have to reinstall Lion.

  • How can i remove the apple watch app

    this is yet another app i will never use, how can i remove it?

    You can't remove it because the app is part of the system update and any app that is part of the software cannot be removed.
    You can only hide it in a folder so that you can't see it.

  • How do I increase system font size (for menus, etc.)?

    I wear contacts, but still don't have perfect vision, and working on my mac all day as a researcher means that my eyes can get tired- especially since I work on double screens- my macbook air + a widescreen display on my desk. There are a lot of accessibility options in Yosemite, but I cannot see an option to simply increase the menu/system font size. It seems ridiculous that one can easily increase fonts in safari or other programs with a pinch-out motion, but there are NO possibilities for making menus and system text--which users have to decipher across their day and tasks--more legible. (I could never find this option in Mavericks either, but am surprised not to see it added in Yosemite, with all the smart, beautiful aesthetic changes).
    So, how can I increase menu font size? 
    Many thanks in advance!
    Emily

  • How can I increase the font size of my email when I print it out, it is printing tiny

    How can I increase the font size when I print out emails, it is printing tiny size?

    In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
    The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

    How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
    We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
    Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
    Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

    I have Photoshop cs6 Ext on an ASUS laptop. How can I increase the font size of the contents of the FILTER Panel situated on bottom left of screen. The font size is extreamly small and almost unreadable. I have changed display parameters, not the resolution, to no avail.

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

  • After Firefox was updated, the font size on my screen was decreased for all applications. How can I increase the font size on my screen ??

    After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.
    Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

    Thanks -- that does help!
