Basic Zoom function when composing mail (macOS mail)

Ok, now we are in the year 2021. Did some Apple developer find some time to implement the most simple function named: "zooming the window content" (i am not talking about increasing the font size) when composing a mail using Mac Mail? Just like it does work with reading email panes (⌘ -/+)

Please tell me, if you do not care about accessibility at all. This is such a basic feature and - looking at the number of support requests - badly wanted. Mac mail is unusable for composing emails in the current version.

What is the issue here? The size of interface, like the words To:, Cc: etc?

As said already, you can change the display resolution to one of the larger text options (in System Preferences->Displays).

There is a whole Accessibility pane in System Preferences. One of the useful tools is the Zoom feature. I often use it with

Control-scroll up or down when I need to occasionally see something that looks too small for my eyes. Easy to zoom in and back out. "Hover text" is another thing you may find useful.

It's either adjust the font size or adjust your monitor's resolution, scaling. Adjusting the message font size only sets it for you not for others. Or you could elect to use another email application. Plenty to choose from. Nobody is forcing you to use the Mail app. Apple merely includes an email client for free.

Have you considered putting the Compose Screen to " Full Screen Mode "
