Try this:

1. In Outlook, Click on View- Arrange By- Current View - Customize Current
View.
2. Click Automatic Formatting.
3. Click on Font.
4. Choose the font, font style and size that you want.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK again.

Very much the same as Fofo suggested, just clicking Automatic Formatting
instead of Other Settings.

FoFo:

From what I can tell, Fofo's explanation helps to increase font size when
you are looking at the "main email page" in outlook, however it does not
actually change or increase the font size for incoming messages. From what I
can tell, the font size for incoming emails will be based on the senting the
sender has on their computer.

Therefore, the saga contiunes.

This appears to only change the incoming notifications but once opened then
the mail goes back to a smaller font. I do I retain the larger font setting
even after the email has been opened?
