Jim,

We'll need to know the specific e-mail client you're using, but if you happen to be using Outlook Express 6, this might do it for you:

Open Outlook Express, then click on "Tools" in the upper left, choose "Options". When that loads, click on the "read" tab. When that loads, click on the "Fonts" button, then change the items you choose, including the "Font Size". When you've finished, click on the "Set as Default" button. Then click on OK, OK, etc.

Hope this helps.

Sorry it is not the size of mail. It is the size of the type on "INCOMING" DELETE" "SENT" Etc. that I want to increase size of type.

Jim, We Still Need More Information...

I'm not clear what you're talking about. When are you seeing "Incoming", "Delete", "Sent"? Are you online at the time? In Internet Explorer? If so, while in Internet Explorer, click on "View" in the upper left, choose "Text Size", then make it larger.

Or are you in an e-mail program of some type? If so, which one?

If you're offline, and you simply need all the fonts larger, then RIGHT click on a blank area of the desktop, choose "Properties" from menu, then click on the "Appearance" tab and change the "Fonts" to something to your liking.

Hope this helps and let us know.

If you are using Outlook Express to view your incoming mail...one way to solve the problem is to click on "view" on the menu bar at the top of that screen, and drop down and open up text size.. this will give you several options for setting the same.

Hope this helps...need additional help re: gizmo

To view larger size type for emails...click on View at the top of the menu bar, then toggle down to text size... click on there and another smaller screen opens up, allowing you to choose the size of text you prefer.

Hope this helps.. (:
