Windows 10: How to change the default font in the Windows 10 Mail app

Good afternoon.


Since upgrading my work PC I have been unable to change the default font setting when using the built in Mail app, I am stuck using calibri at font size 11 which does not match any of my pre-prepared notes. It's a minor inconvenience to have to change the formatting of each message before I send them but it will save me time and there is the possibility of my forgetting to do so which would then look unprofessional.


The app reports it is Version 16005.10325.20091.0 - can anybody advise please?


Thanks,

Rick.

change default font in Window 10 Mail App


Can anyone explain how to change the default font in Windows 10 Mail app? The drop down menu allows for a font change in a single email. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to change the default.

Interesting reply. I am afraid Microsoft is going backwards, this is not an improvement at all. Windows live mail is miles a head of this pathetic mail app. This Mail app might be just sufficient for hand held tablet or phone. Why not bring back Windows Live
Mail which is an excellent program? Please do not tell me that this is an improvement. I would say it is just just a gimmick.

I understand that you can change the font for each email; However, this is really unacceptable and a step backwards. I totally agree with the comment that Windows Live Mail was greatly superior to the pitiful Windows 10 Mail App. Microsoft has consistently
reduced capabilities with each new Mail program, Windows Live Mail was a step down from Outlook 6 (not Outlook Office) where you could easily add a MIDI to your email. If anyone knows of a program that comes close to WLM I would be interested.

It's true, you can permanently change the font on your new emails but if you are replying to someone it again reverts to the tiny Calibri 11pt font. Is there a workaround for this or do I have to reset the font each time I reply to an email?
