Hi, Sachin!


Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities. From your post, I see you would like to change the font size of the message list in Mail on your iMac, however the option under Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors is greyed out. I'm happy to help!

The font size for the message list can be adjusted in the Classic View layout of the Mail app only, as detailed below in Mail Fonts & Colors preferences on Mac - Apple Support :

Message list font

The font and font size for viewing the list of messages in classic layout only (where the message list is above the messages). Click Select to use a different font.



You can turn the Classic View layout on under Mail > Preferences > Viewing > Classic View ( Mail Viewing preferences on Mac - Apple Support ). Once that is enabled, the option to adjust the message list font will be available.

Cheers!

THIS IS YET ANOTHER OF APPLE'S ARROGANT REFUSAL TO FIX EVEN THE SIMPLEST PROBLEM THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR MANY, MANY YEARS!!!!!


Apple stop making excuses - it's VERY VERY simple to fix - YOU ARE APPLE for cryin' out loud - so many developers fix or never create these problems to begin with.


Stop with the excuses and ridiculous workarounds that don't work anyhow.


JUST FIX IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
