Aligning the email font and the email signature font is essential for ensuring professionalism, consistency, and effective communication. A consistent font ensures your emails align with your brand image. Fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Helvetica exude professionalism, while unregulated fonts can appear unpolished or untrustworthy.
In the New Outlook, centrally setting the compose font via the 365 add-in or other direct methods is not currently supported because Microsoft 365 add-ins, including Xink, operate within specific constraints. These constraints limit their ability to change Outlook's default compose settings, such as font styles or sizes, as these are part of the core Outlook client configuration rather than managed through the add-in framework.
Change the compose font and font size Individually
Currently, I'm using the following font (Aptos) and font size (12).
First, you need to connect to Exchange Online (Type your Admin Credentials):
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Change the font and font size.
Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -Identity [email protected] -DefaultFontName Arial -DefaultFontSize 10
Restart the new Outlook client and verify your changes. Compose a new email and check your default font.
To change company-wide, you can run the script below.
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited | Set-Mailbox -DefaultFontName "Arial" -DefaultFontSize "10"
You can also try the script below. Make sure to modify the command to your required font and font size.
# Query all the mailboxes
$Mailboxes = Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited
# Loop through each mailbox
foreach ($mailbox in $mailboxes) {
# Apply desired settings
Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration -Identity $mailbox.Identity -DefaultFontName Arial -DefaultFontSize 10
}
