The messages being composed and inbound mail have 4 or 6 point type. How can I reset default fonts from toolbar?

    Dear Ken,

    Since both incoming and outgoing messages look tiny, the reading view may be zoomed out. Click inside a message and press Ctrl + 0 to reset the zoom. You can also hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to make the text bigger or smaller. If text looks small in other apps too, check your Windows display settings under Settings > System > Display > Scale.

    To set the default font for messages you write, follow these steps:

    1. On the View tab, select View settings in new Outlook.
    2. Select Mail, then Compose.
    3. Under Message format, choose the font, size, and style you would like, then select Save.

    For reference: Change the default font or text color for email messages in Outlook | Microsoft Support

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to your reply.
