Windows 10: Microsoft reveals refined dark mode, font settings for Windows 10 Mail app

Microsoft last month started testing an improved dark mode for Windows 10’s Mail and Calendar app. Yesterday, Microsoft officially announced the refined dark mode experience for Windows 10’s default mail app and the update is now live for all Insiders.

Mail and Calendar version 16.0.11231.20082 is rolling out to Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring and it comes with a series of visual changes. First and foremost, the message body and the new mail screen now uses a refined dark visual style.

The implementation of dark appearance in all pages provides a consistent experience in the Mail app. The new visual changes are also expanding to the Calendar app and you’ll notice it when updating a calendar item. The experience while managing the emails and calendar appointments should be more consistent after the update.

Windows 10’s Mail now has a refined dark appearance




If the entire app has a dark appearance, it will offer a better reading experience for people that work in a low light environment. The new dark mode can be accessed from the app’s Settings > Personalization. After enabling it, the dark mode will expand to include the email reading pane, compose box and other areas.



You can still view a particular email in light mode by tapping on the sunshine icon located at the top of the screen (also known as command bar). This will turn on the lights and you can view the email content with a white background. Microsoft says that this feature is useful if an email is not formatted well in the dark background.

Default font settings




Microsoft is finally bringing the highly-anticipated font settings to the Mail app. The new default font settings in Mail app will allow you to customize how new messages will look and you will also notice fonts of your choice when you type an email.

You can change your default font in Mail app from Settings > Default font. It’s worth noting that default font changes won’t be applied to the OS and it does not roam to other devices.

Microsoft is still beta testing the new features and it will be rolled out to the general public soon.

Font issues with Windows Mail App

Hello Jesse,

We regret for the inconvenience.

From the description provided, I understand that you are experiencing the following issues:

• You are unable to define or set fonts in Mail App.
• You are unable to access the address book.

In the first case, we need more clarity as to what you are referring as 'set fonts'.

Are you referring to setting fonts while creating an email message? Or are you referring to overall interface of the fonts in the Mail App?

Secondly, in Windows, Mail App collects the address when you either reply to an email or manually type in an email address. So, there is no option to remove/modify or add to an existing contact list.

This feature is integrated to Mail App through People App in Windows. So once you add/delete/modify contacts to the People app, the same reflects under the Mail App.

With regards to the third concern, I suggest you to
post your question in the Office Forum, where we have support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on such issues.

Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to assist you further.

Thank You.
