so every few days, my iphone's inbox will do this thing where it loads all emails "zoomed out" by default. In other words, the text appears super small on one side of the screen, and i have to double tap to zoom in in order to read anything. Sometimes, it won't even let me zoom in, which is even more frustrating. Restarting the phone usually fixes it, but I was wondering if anyone here knew why this was happening, or any other ways to fix it?

I'm syncing my inbox w/ gmail as exchange, if that helps.

Thanks!
 
Yeah the same thing has been happening to me. Sometimes it automatically adjusts itself and sometimes it doesn't. Quite annoying to be honest but whatever
 
Mail, contacts...

Go to settings,go to Mail, contacts, calender, scroll down, minimum font size, pick a larger size!!!!

This doesn't exactly help because the Mail should automatically adjust emails to fit the screen. The problem is that its not doing it all the time, not the font size
 
I get this based on WHERE the message came from.

Things from Google or Mobile Me accounts are fine. Things from corprate outlook accounts tend to be formatted terribly...you have to scroll left and right just to read anything.

But no, it doesn't come and go based on time.
 
I think it has to do with the iphone "forgetting" to zoom back in after opening up a big html email. All my mail is sync'd to gmail, so it shouldn't be an issue of where the email is coming from.
 
Annoying indeed

I've heard this is because the sender of html mail controls the settings. The ONLY thing I hate about the iPhone is having to scroll back and forth to proofread my replies to html emails when the scrollbars are there and I can't resize the fonts or window to see the entire reply in one place.

Has anyone found a fix for this?
