Adjust font for incoming mail on mac osx
To adjust the font for incoming mail on a Mac running macOS, you can follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the Mail app
- Open the Mail app on your Mac.
- Click on "Mail" in the top menu bar and select "Preferences" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command + Comma).
- In the Preferences window, click on the "General" tab.
- Under "Font", you can select a font family, font size, and font style (e.g., bold, italic) for incoming mail.
- Click "OK" to save your changes.
Method 2: Using the System Preferences
- Click on the Apple menu and select "System Preferences".
- Click on "General".
- Click on the "Appearance" tab.
- Under "Font", you can select a font family, font size, and font style (e.g., bold, italic) for all system-wide text, including incoming mail.
- Click "OK" to save your changes.
Method 3: Using the Terminal (for advanced users)
- Open the Terminal app on your Mac.
- Type the following command and press Enter:
defaults write com.apple.mail FontName -string "Your Font Name"
- Replace "Your Font Name" with the name of the font you want to use (e.g., "Arial", "Helvetica", etc.).
- Type the following command and press Enter:
defaults write com.apple.mail FontSize -int 12
- Replace "12" with the font size you want to use (e.g., 10, 11, 12, etc.).
- Type the following command and press Enter:
killall Mail
- This will restart the Mail app and apply the new font settings.
Note: The above Terminal commands will change the font settings for all incoming mail in the Mail app. If you want to change the font settings for a specific account or folder, you'll need to use a different approach.
