SME: 7.0 RC1

Is there a way to change the font size in webmail, so that by default it starts with a size 10 point or 11 point. The default is too small for some users.

Thanks

Why do the users not enlarge the font-size in their browsers? A quick way to do so is holding control while using the scroll wheel of the mouse, this usually works quite well.

No, this does not work well at all. :hammer:
1. This is a global setting for the session in Internet Explorer. Meaning this will affect all the other websites they go to.
2. With all the other browsers, it need to be done each time. Again, no good.

What I am looking for is a setting in Webmail for setting the font size.

It does with my Mozilla/Firefox browser as those overwrite fixed font settings as opposite to M$ Internet Exploder

I know that, but it is a very simple solution that is not hard for a user to do.

That is not there I believe on the version of Horde that is used on version 7, as this command
Code: [Select]
grep -H -d recurse font-size /home/httpd/html/horde/*
only showes fixed font-sizes. If you want to change them all be my guest, but be aware that they will be removed when horde is upgraded.

Then I will have to do it manually. This is required for moving from 6 to 7. Users refuse 7 because it's too small.

Many, including myself, have reading/computer glasses.

Hi all,

The webmail horde font size font is really small.

There must be a way to change the font size on horde config on SME 7.4.

Looking forward to answers and many thanks.

There isn't, as you've already been told in this thread. To change the font size, the webmail source code needs to be changed.
