You can also set your default font size in MailPreferenceFont Colors and Click select on message font and set the font size as you would want it to be.

Especially when using a Macbook trackpad or stand alone Magic Pad.

I instinctively attempt to use pinch-to-zoom to zoom in on whatever I am reading or writing.

Pressing control and then doing a 2-finger swipe up or down only gives you access to a small part of the application window.

Whatever is off screen when you zoom in is inaccessible until you zoom back out.

I really like Apples were not going to try to be all things to all people approach and for the most part I feel the tradeoffs they make between user experience and functionality are excellent.

But, this is an example where adding the functionality would significantly enhance user experience, while in no way detracting from it.

Every time I come across something like this it leaves such a bad taste in my mouth for the company.

They need to do a better job of listening to customers who bring no-brainer issues to their attention.

On that note, please join me in giving feedback to Apple about Mail using their feedback form: And heres the link for giving Apple feedback on their other products.

I think that size is quite invariant on time for a given person, so, it seems you will not need to do theses steps many times in your life.

The Mail-Preferences-Fonts and Colors-Message Font helps for composing mail.

But. Apple, please add the trackpad zoom in and zoom out feature for Mail.especially in a composition window or a viewing window.

In addition, please add a feature to increase the font size of the other panes in Mail, such as the message list pane and the mailbox pane.

Specifically, this would position a Mac much better for meeting the needs of the vision impaired.

I tried using Safari to log into iCloud and access my mail that way, thinking that when I do a web-based compose, I can then use the usual hotkey sequence to let me zoom in like I do with other web pages.

Well, it sort of works for about 30 seconds, then Safari gives me the spinning beachball of death and spikes the CPU, making the compose tab unresponsive.
