font size incoming mail
I notice that my incoming mail is in smaller font size than it used to be.
I know I can change the font size in writing/composing email, but how can I change it for easier reading for the incoming mail without having to forward to myself in order to change it? Then it doesn't immediately show who it's actually from (it will say it's from me)
Hi there. To increase the font for your incoming emails, you can have the option turned on to ''Enable large text size'' when you go to Settings. Additionally, you can use the keyboard by pressing and holding CTRL then adjust the font with the ''+'' and ''-'' keys.

I can no longer see the emails listed in my inbox because YOU changed the font! I have it set for LARGE but it is NOT large and nothing allows me to change it back. This is viciously cruel and renders the inbox useless. CHANGE IT BACK!

There does not seem to be method of saving the changes in "settings", and particularly, of the size of the font in which the message has been written. Inexplicably, the size of the font, as the "standard", has changed to 10 - which is far too small. Would you please ensure that there is a method of saving the change to size 14 (or even 12).
And perhaps you would respond to this.
Many thanks.

BTW, I tried increasing the size of the font with the Control Panel of Windows. No success. Under AOL Settings, it says the font size is on large. I'm out of ideas.

I used to be able to read my emails with no trouble. However, since you "improved" AOL email, all my incoming emails (not ads or junk) are this font that I'm typing in now (it must be about a size 8 or less fond). I am 80 years old and it's almost impossible to read!! Please help me fix this!!!

Instructions in "setting" does not allow for larger font when viewing email in Microsoft Edge.

Your support pages on how to select and change font and font size is not correct. Clicking on the gear and more settings and then write email does have a spot for Default rich text settings but they won't stay. Each new email the font is different and the size does what it wants. Fix this. I still pay AOL monthly for what? A broken experience. Not to mention I get ads on my web AOL very top of my emails and on the right hand side and for what??? I pay you for email. Then you put a link " Why am I seeing ads" that takes you to how I can pay AOL to stop ads ???? HUH I am paying you AOL but I still get your ads???? Wonderful double dipping

It would really be nice if you actually answered the problem here instead of making people go to Facebook, Twitter/X, etc. We shouldn’t have to keep reading the same old, tired response of “I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue and I'd like to look more into it to help, please contact us on Twitter at @AOLSupportHelp or on Facebook at our AOL Customer Care page. If you do not have a social media account, we are available at help.aol.com.
Thank you,
AOL team”We came for a solution, not to be chasing all over the internet for it.

When I type my email and then increase the font size from 12 to 24, there is no space between the lines, the letters on the top row are touching the letters on the bottom row. I have a friend with vision difficulties, I'm having to switch to comcast email. It was working beautifully until yesterday. Fix this.

A l'unanimité voir 90 % vous demande de revenir à l'ancien format, pourquoi ne tenez vous pas compte des avis ?
Déçu, surtout que vous cherchez pas à améliorer celle-ci
Je comprend pas commercialement qu'on puisse être aussi borné devant un raté qui d'après les commentaires est une évidence, c'était trop bien !!! quel illuminé a pondu ce torchon -

Use Rich Text/HTML. When I select this option nothing changes. Make selecting this option cause a change in the size and type of text.

All of a sudden the text size in emails (composed and received) has shrunk to an unreadable size!! This is ridiculous -- and there is no way to unclick the miniscule "selected" (by you!) font and pick our preference. Who thinks up these idiotic changes?? Please immediately change it back to allow us to pick the type font and size, and have it remain that until WE change it. Every day it's something new with the "improved" AOL mail. Please just STOP.

I am tech challenged and sight as well. That happens to some of us old folks. I thought my computer was messed up or I accidentally hit a setting. It's AOL's new email and when I type now there is 1/2 space between the lines and you can't read what is written. I saw the many complaints and now that I know it is AOL not my computer I too am thinking what the ****? Gen Z or later thinking they can make things just for them vs those who use AOL their customers. Fix your errors and shut down. More do not like your recent changes/upgrades and someone trying to make a name for themselves. What happened to common sense and good judgement? I was on Compuserve before it was AOL and it was MUCH better back then. These kids and management of today are clueless.
