Mail Message Font won't zoom for reading

Hi, I've just switched from PC to MAC, and am finding it very hard to read messages in Mail. I have tried to zoom in but all it does is increase the window size not the actual font size. It looks like its currently on 6pt font size!! very frustrating - can anyone help?
Thank you

  • Mail message font

    Mail 8.0
    Mail application will not allow me to compose an email in Nitti Light 16.0 even though I've set the 'message font' and 'fixed width font' preferences to this font. Instead, when composing an email, Nitti Normal 16.0 is automatically used. By taking the extra steps of selecting the email's text then Formatt>Show Fonts and selecting 'Light', the email displays as wanted. But it seems like if the message font preferences are set to Nitti Light 16.0 then that's what should be the 'default' message font setting. After trying different iterations, Mail seems to accept only the font family 'message font' preference and not the typeface preference, is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks, MPS

  • Mountain Lion Mail "Message Import" Won't Finish

    Upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday from Lion, had massive issues with SystemUIServer freezing the system, so I wiped the hard drive and did a fresh install of Mountain Lion. After using migration assistant to move stuff over from a Time Machined external HD, the Mail upgrade halts at around 26000 emails. This happened in 10.8.0 and after I upgraded to 10.8.1.
    This is what I've been staring out for about 6 hours (cancelled, restarted, rebooted, etc).

    Bet you upgraded from Snow Leopard. The scanner software you have installed is likely PPC but could run in Snow Leopard, which was the last version of Mac OS X that supported it, rather than just Intel software.
    I'd suggest going to the Epson website and getting Mountain Lion compatible drivers from their Drivers and Support page. They will be for Intel Macs such as yours.

  • How do I set up minimum font size for mail messages in iPod touch 5G?

    According to the iPod touch User Guide for iOS 6:
    Set the minimum mail message font size: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Minimum Font Size
    But in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I don't see the "Minimum Font Size" option.
    Thank you in advance!

    Look under Settings > General > Accessibility > Large Text

  • Shortcuts for filing mail messages into mailboxes

    I just switched from ThinkPad to MacBook Air, and from Thunderbird to Apple Mail. I have a big hierarchy of mailboxes (several thousand of them). It is time-consuming to drag a mail message through the hierarchy into the appropriate mailbox. In Thunderbird, I had a plug-in that allowed me to quickly file mail messages into appropriate mailboxes by simply typing a few letters of the mailbox name. Is there anything similar for Apple Mail (or any other tricks for filing mail messages more quickly)?
    Thanks for your help.
    M....

    Thanks for your response.
    Actually, the plug-in for Thunderbird works quite well, even with thousands of mailboxes. You type in a few letters from the mailbox name (not necessarily the first letters) and it shows a list of all mailboxes whose names include those letters.
    If someone could create a plug-in like this for Apple Mail, I think it could be very useful.

  • I have created a newsletter in indesign cs4 how can I set zooms for each article for the user

    I have created a e-newsletter in Indesign. I have successfuly saved it as a SWF then as a PDF from acrobat.
    The problem is that when the user zooms in the resolution is not good.
    How can I let the user zoom in to read each article. Would I create buttons with zoom settings for each article. If this is the case do I do it in Indesign or Flash and can I still save it as a PDF file and it will keep the interactivity?
    I would greatly appreciate any help with this issue. It is driving me mad trying to get the information I need.
    Thank you

    Hi Bob
    Dont know what you mean by deleting my signature in the forum. Sorry its my
    first time using a forum.
    So just to confirm if I want a user to zoom in on an article I can't do it
    in Indesign or Flash.
    cheers

  • Mail messages don't appear, only headers...

    How do I get my mail messages to appear?  Can only read them if I do a reply....
    Only headers are showing....

    Try theses things in order. The reboot might be all that you need to do.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do I browse my hotmail e-mail messages (while zoomed in) without having to scroll down for each new e-mail (after pressing up arrow for next message)?

    In other words, I want to be able to change the default starting scroll position from 'top' to 'bottom' or customize this to 'somewhere in between' so that I don't have to scroll down before reading each new e-mail message.

    Have you tried Firefox's zoom feature? Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages
    You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
    You can find more information about the zoom features Firefox offers in these articles:
    [[Text zoom]] - For zooming text only
    [[Page zoom]] - For zooming the whole page (including images etc.)

  • Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari's location bar, Mail's message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images.

    Even though I have LCD font smoothing disabled, Mountain Lion still uses it in PDF views, Safari’s location bar, Mail’s message view, and the dialogs for mounting encrypted disk images. Is there any solution to this problem? Also diabled the Smoothing in the SystemPrefs and also via Terminal. Font smoothing is still there. Very annoying, especially in PDF attachments in Apple Mail.

    Try feeding Safari a user-defined CSS file with font-smoothing tweaks (including none). The filename and its filesystem location are arbitrary. Use your favorite coding editor.
    Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Style Sheet:
    Here is an example with all elements uncommented. Pick the one that works best for your Safari viewing and comment out the others:
    Preview. Try Preview > Preferences > PDF > Smooth text and line art (uncheck)

  • The fonts all turned bold even in sites and even in mails for read and unread mails.

    When I visit any sites, the fonts on my browser turns bold. Even when in my e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail), my read and unread mails/messages are both in bold. Why? What Should I do?

    Such an error can indicate a problem with a missing or corrupted font.
    You can try to run the System File Checker program to see if that fixes it.

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works
