Windows 10: Mail default font

How do I change the default font in mail for windows 10 from calabrie to times new roman and at 14 points? I hate having to compose my mail and then have to go back and highlight my message and change it to what I want. In Office outlook, I have set my defaults to what I wanted, I just can't find that setting in the standard mail app.

Cannot change the default font style in Mail for Windows

Like what we have mentioned in our first reply, the font format that you've chosen will become active until you send the email. If you will compose a new email, the font format will return to the default settings. This is the design of the Mail app. If you
want the Mail app to have a setting that will allow you to change the default font format of your emails, we suggest that you submit a feedback using the Feedback Hub app. The steps on how to use the Feedback Hub can be found in our last reply.
