Hi I'm a partially sighted person who finds reading incoming mails a little uncomfortable to read at the present size, can, someone please tell me how I can change the size of incoming emails in Apple Mail please
 
Try using the Zoom feature in the Accessibility preference in System Preferences. I use that in any app when I want to magnify the view. it is also great for small pictures that you want to read the writing.

You can press Command and the plus key to make the text bigger and Command with the minus key will decrease the size.

You can also set the default font size, type and colour in Mail preferences under the fonts and colours tab - by default it is Helvetica size 12.

Thanks its sorted now. I asked because I did go to Mail>Preferences>Fonts and Colours on it didn't seem to do anything but I realised after I'd closed the email app but hadn't quit to activate the settings but as soon as I did it worked. Thanks
