Dear @Aggarwal, Sanjay Kumar,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand you want to increase the font size for the folder names in your Outlook navigation pane without affecting your desktop icons or other applications. 

I'll be happy to provide the details on this. The solution depends on which version of Outlook you are using. 

For the "New Outlook"  

If you are using the "New Outlook" (the one with the "New Outlook" toggle at the top right), you can adjust the text size, which will affect both the folder pane and the message list. 

1. From the menu, select View > View settings. 
2. Select Mail > Layout. 
3. Under the Text size and spacing section, you can choose Small, Medium, or Large to adjust the font size within the app. 
4. Click Save. 

For a complete guide on the font settings that can be changed within Outlook (such as the message list and reading pane), please see this official Microsoft support article: Change the font or font size in the message list - Microsoft Support 

This document provides the steps for both "New Outlook" and "Classic Outlook," confirming the options available for each. 

I truly hope you understand that the initial steps I suggested may not have completely resolved the issue, as there might still be underlying causes, we haven't uncovered yet. Please know that I’m here with you every step of the way, ready to work together and do everything I can to help troubleshoot and find the best solution. 

hope the solution for the "New Outlook" is helpful if you are using that version. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
