Email pane larger font; is it possible?

[kiddingguy]

Question: can the email pane (red) be displayed in a larger font?
Or there might be a different way to display larger letters?

My parents are having trouble reading the small letters.
I cannot find this setting (and setting the Windows screen to 125% give other challenges and non-readability issues)

You can in the version you're using.
Click the gear icon > mail > layout > text size and spacing  -

The print screen was a hero-image from Microsoft to show the middle column 🫣

 

My mom uses the Outlook Classic (as part of M365 Family).

Not the New Outlook or webversion.

 

What are the possibilities in Outlook Classic? I cannot find them there.
Maybe the New Outlook, but I personnaly don't like that interface [and will be a slight learning curve for her]. But if it is, what it is, than maybe my mom should use it.

Does this work?

EDIT: I just tested and it seemed to work for me:

On the view tab, select current view > view settings. Then in the box that opens select Other Settings to change the font sizes.

Thx a lot. That was what I was looking for.

Especially the 'row font' that makes everything a little larger.
