If you’ve enabled the message preview in Outlook but find that the fonts are difficult to read, such as too small, you can change its font sizes. This article is mainly looking at this issue. You can utilize the method introduced here.

Outlook message preview permits us to read one-to-three lines of message body without opening it. In Outlook 2010 and previous versions, we can also change the fonts of preview. But in Outlook 2013 and higher, this feature disappeared initially. In newer iterations, we can only adjust the specified number lines of preview, namely selecting one line, two lines or three lines. Fortunately, in 2015, Outlook 2013 was updated with this feature. That is to say, if your Outlook 2013 has been upgraded, you can modify the fonts of message preview as well. As for Outlook 2016, it still lacks this feature. Now I will introduce the concrete steps to change its fonts.
