    * Change the resolution of your screen (affects everything). If you're running 1280x1024, change to 1024x768. Text (and everything else, for that matter) will appear bigger. That's in Control Panel, Display, Settings.

    * Another approach that achieves similar results is to change the "DPI", or "Dots Per Inch" setting of your display. That, too, is in Control Panel, Display, Settings, in the Advanced tab. This article has more on it as well: How can I make the text on my screen larger?

    * Now, I haven't done this extensively, so I don't know how difficult it is to get ALL of Outlook to change, but on Outlook's View menu, hit Arrange By, and then Custom will allow you to select the fonts to be used for that view.

    * You can also look at Options, Mail Format, Fonts and select a larger size, though that will also impact the actual font size used in any HTML you might send.

    * And finally as you view a message, if your mouse has a wheel, ctrl+rolling the wheel will increase or decrease the text size for most (though not all HTML) messages.
