Title: How to increase font size - everything very small
Post by: OmarKN on October 23, 2015, 10:16:07 pm

Hi and good day,

In Composing & sending, I set Rich text 14pt (largest) and Sans Serif,

but this doesn't do anything to increase the font, the whole mail is very small, the To, Subject and also the Message body.

How to increase font size?

Hello Omar,

It depends on what result you are trying to achieve: to make sure you can see the text on your small device, or to make sure that the recipient(s) of your messages are forced upon with the LARGE FONT, even if they might be reading on a laptop or desktop.
Setting up large font size for your message will achieve the latter. Luckily, the sender has the power only over the message body, and not over the headers of the messages. And fortunately, Kostya (Aquamail sole author) has limited the font size to 14pts to spare poor folks on the other end. (And personally, - as much as I can, I limit my e-mail communication with those who set the fonts to any preset type and size, because the sender knows only how it looks on his/her screen, not on mine.)

If it is the former, - please read the FAQ for Aquamail: http://www.aqua-mail.com/?page_id=227
Among other answered questions, it has "When viewing or composing email, the font is too small".
In addition to the recipe offered there, you can open the "3-dot" menu -> View -> and then change the font size.

Hope this helps.

In addition to StR's post and the description in the FAQ section:
If you want to adjust the font size using the volume keys you have to enable the option in Settings > Look and feel > "Volume keys: font size"

Good point.

@Kostya, - I think it would make sense to update that FAQ item for (1) mikeone's addition, and possibly for (2) how it can be done via menu item - as I described in the previous post.

I've added into about Menu -> View.

The "use volume keys to adjust font size" is enabled by default.

ok, thank you guys!   =SOLVED_!

When I read: >The setting is remembered,

I was relieved!
in:
(FAQ: While viewing or writing email, adjust the font size using the volume keys. The setting is remembered,…)
