Many users want to change the font size used for the folder names in Outlook. Unfortunately, Outlook no longer has an option to change the font size in the Folder List (Navigation pane); this was an option only in Outlook 2010.
At this time, if you use Windows 11 (or Windows 10) and need larger text in Outlook's Folder List, you'll need to change the display scaling % in Settings > Display > Scale and Layout or change the Font size in Accessibility > Text size, either of which will affect all applications. Raising either setting up to 25% will usually increase the folder fonts enough without messing other applications up.
You can vote for these suggestions in the Outlook Feedback portal to allow user-customization of the folder pane and other fonts:
- Allow change of folder icons, fonts and colors
- Provide an option to allow font size to be changed or customized and same in Microsoft Outlook 2016
You can change the fonts and font sizes in the Message list and zoom the reading pane or opened messages.
