Finally got the stock Email App working for Yahoo mail and prefer it to the k-9 App I was using previously apart from two issues;
The font size when reading emails is too large
It doesn't seem to be possible to get images to load automatically when opening an email.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to fix this but cannot find anything in settings.
1) In the e-mail account you maid, Menu > Settings > General Settings > Mail body font size.
2) Try Menu > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive > Receive Setting, Try increasing the Mail size limit & make sure its set to HTML, might work.
Doesn't solve the problem.
Some mails you can't even scroll left and right to see the whole mail.
Another quality HTC application
I have the same issue which is annoying since it was fine on my Sensation. In Sense 3.6 you had a setting to set the font to smallest which was perfect.
Anyone know if the stock ics maill app is any better. This is the only thing I Hate about the phone.

I am indeed using the ICS Stock email app for this very reason. However I find that the system-wide minimum font size is still too large and even though my mail text size is set to tiny, using the smallest font size in ICS settings still renders the mail notification text to be large.
i have the same issue. the font is just too big. if you carefully watch it when you open an email. the font starts out normal size then goes super large.

Hi there. Just received my HTC One X today and it's a really nice phone!
One thing that really bothers me is the gigantic fonts!
I have set the font size to "small" in the settings but when I opened up apps like Email or Messaging, the font is still sooo big. I cannot zoom out.
Have you guys experienced this?
I used to own a Galaxy Nexus and the fonts are much smaller when you set it to "small", but on the One X small is actually Large on the Nexus.
Is it a One X issue or is it something to do with the HTC Sense? Is there a solution? Or is there a setting somewhere else that allows me to decrease the font size?
Thanks in advance!!
Push
Please HELP!!!
None of you thinks the fonts are too large?

The font size in the email app is too big...I wondered if I were the only one who is annoyed by this. Changing the font size in Mail Settings doesn't do anything at all. This and some other bug definitely should be fixed!
Not sure about the email app, as I only use gmail, but you can change font size in the htc sms / messages thread view by using 2 finger pinch and what ever the opposite gesture is called - just like to can in google maps and gallery.
Found out by accident
Yes there are more of us who are affected with this bug... I think it is a shame that phone of this calibre can't render HTML e-mail readable...
I was hoping this OTA update would have sorted this, but it looks like not enough people are complaining about it.
Probably the only thing that annoys me about the phone.

You can use pich-to-zoom in email, but you can't zoom-out to a reasonable size..
Setting font size in Mail Settings to small helps a little if there's a plain text email, but if it's html or smth, it doesnt do much..
I just hope HTC would fix this

I have noticed the same issue with the Font size not staying Small when you set it to Small.. it's very annoying and for sure a software problem that they should fix. I posted a message on AndroidCentral as well and I also opened a support case on HTC's website.. Maybe if we all do that it will get attention. Its quite annoying the font is HUGE
I agree, font size is way too big. It is definitely a Sense thing. In pure ICS the font size is changed throughout the user interface. A solution for now, until HTC fixes the problem, could be to use a different launcher e.g. Apex. Unfortunately we'll lose the HTC widgets...
the first thing I do every time I install a ROM is change LCD Density to 280. This helps. I then change fonts to small also.
LCD density modder pro is a couple of quid - well worth it tho - it fixes thye market too.
I have this problem as well. I can pinch-zoom to make it larger but it won't go any smaller and its still massive.
Any ideas? http://elektro.c0.pl/
There have been 3 updates already since I bought the HOX but none of them solves the front problem...
It's been a month & a half and I've started to give in and am less bothered about it now...
Still hope HTC would add a "tiny" option to the font size tho.

There's a mod in the development section that installs smaller fonts via cwm

the large(r) font was a plus for me when i chose the OneX over the OneS.
Font size changes randomly
I've also had the font size issue, but for me it seems to be random. I'll open a text and the font will be tiny, and then without leaving the messaging app I'll open another text and the font will be large. I can even go back to the first text and it will still be tiny. I've tried resetting the fonts and the pinch-to-zoom, but when the font is big there's nothing I can do to make it small.
The default size is very large, but I'm fairly happy with it on small, then again, not everything adheres to this "small" policy. I'm interested in changing the DPI of the screen to see what more I can get out of the 720p screen. That would, of course, require root though.

Take a screen shot and post it and lets see.
(power and home)
I definitely have the font size switching [1.88 Stock]. It's particularly egregious in the default SMS messaging app, but as pointed out, pinch-to-zoom works great.
Also, as the lesser of two evils, I've set System Font Size to Small (which is just a bit too much space for me), so that the SMSes I get aren't ginormously sized at time-zero (maybe 10 or so lines per screen).
But what I'm trying to figure out now, is whether HTC's default Mail app has configurable font size for replies. It's currently set to 'Small', but when I look through my work email at my desktop, I can see that HTC mail reformats not only my mail but also the preceding mail header in the chain to Arial size 12pt. (yes, horrifying)
Besides switching to a third-party app, has anyone found a workaround for a stock phone?
Hi guys, had my One X since release day and have been bugged by this annoying issue. I find the don't size in the SMS app too large, I set it to small and it looks good. But more often than not, when I go back to the SMS app, the font size is reset. Also if I change the font size in the display settings to small it changes most except the SMS app font. But sometimes after using the phone for a while or rebooting all the fonts are really small.
Is this a common issue and is there any known fix for it? It's not a deal breaker but is very annoying. Cheers

This is a bug with the messaging app which HTC have not fixed as of 1.28.xxx.x
You can do 2 finger pinch on messaging app to reduce font size even further, but it will still re size itself every so often.
Thanks for the tip about pinch zooming. Looking for an alternative messaging app in the meantime.
font size
Has this bug been resolved- i received a Multimedia message and the font size changed to large ...very annoying!!
Can anyone suggest an alternate email client? I would lie it to do everything the stock one does but with one difference, I would like to move to the next email without returning to the inbox, i.e I am in the body of a message, I have read it and there is an arrow or something that allows me to move straight to the next or previous message, sorry for poor explanation but hopefully you know what I mean!
You can quickly switch between messages the way you describe with K9 mail (I can't post a link -- but google or a play store search for "K9 mail" will find it)
You can do the same too with the ICS Stock email client. That one was one of the best improved applications on ICS and I use that on my H1X along with the 4x4 widget to display emails on one of my home screens.
app called Touchdown
I'm using Touchdown and it works just great for me...

+1 for stock ICS. My only issue remains that the widget "freezes" / doesn't update immediately [this is an issue with ICS or the app, not the H1X]
Another +1 for Touchdown, while reading a message there are options to go to the next or previous email
Enhanced email works really well. I got mine free on the amazon daily promo a while back. It's more or less stock ics email with exchange security settings being configurable.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Thanks for the responses, I will try the stock ics
+1 for K9 mail
however, this is possible in stock sense email app too... you must uncheck "threaded view" option in general settings first, then you can see "next mail" and "previous mail" options in settings when you are viewing any email (three dots options button on upper right corner) in normal view. I know, it is almost same thing with 'back' then tap on next item in threaded view as well, and shame there is no swiping possibility either, hope HTC put this feature in coming updates.
Cheers!
Only thing that puts me off k9 is the pure white with no option for a dark look!
I have emailed the dev but yet to receive a response!

Go to Global settings --> Display and select Dark option in Theme, restart the app by existing K9 and dark theme will be applied when you open K9 again.
Whenever I get emails with images in it, like emails from ATT, Target, GAP etc, the email is showing up as if being viewed in a computer, I mean i can only see a part of it in Gmail, so I have to manually resize the email so that it fits in my phone display. This is kind of an annoyance since coming from iPhone where the email with images would get resized to fit the iphone display. Just wondering if there is any email client that work like the one on the iphone ?

Kaiten
I am using KAITEN for a long time, on my third device now. I was always happy with it.
Not free, but worth the money.
I have a question about k9. I have 3 email accounts on stock email app. 2 of which i have currently set to push so within seconds i have my new email. 1 of which i use to sign up for things and email certain companies ( that i don't need to get instant contact ) and this would be daft using up my mobile data on! I have found that as soon as i set up the accounts they are immediately on push. Even tho there is an update folders option set to never!?
Would someone be able to explain how i would set my third account to be manual- ie i will have to press sync to fetch new mail.
Best
Jr
press accounts and sync settings.......
There is no accounts and sync within k9
To reiterate i would like two accounts to be pushed to my device and one to be manual when i go into it and select "retrieve mail"
Is this possible with k9?

Long press the account, account settings, sync folders, set poll frequency to never and push folders to none.

Thanks for the help but i managed to get one account set to manual but it wasn't the one i wanted and i couldn't get it to push without recreating. This is one confusingly laid out app with its settings.
The beauty of the stock app is you can set to push and even set an on and off peak schedule and define how the app pulls in emails in those periods. Unfortunately the schedule in ics is broken which is why i was seeking an alternative.
Does anyone have problem of Samsung stock email for the note 10.1 2014 displaying the email message body in a very large size?
I used settings to change the font size to small, extra small and even tiny and the mail body font is still way too big.
Yes, I have an issue with this as well.
Email font is just way too large compared to everything else.
Has anyone found a solution or work around?

I ended up finding the solution on AndroidCentral, you just need to go into the settings of the email app. Under "General" and "Display" and uncheck "Auto fit content". You will then be able to resize content to you preference.
Is anyone using the stock email app (non-gmail)? When you reply to an email, the font size is huge. Turning down font size to smaller in system settings only makes the font size of the inbox smaller but seems to have zero impact on the font size of email replies. Thoughts?

Yeah ... been struggling with this myself. It's during email composition... I can't find anything that will reduce the size of the email during response. Nothing.

Are you using the default application as there is a menu bar under the CC/Bcc with formatting options, turn down the text to 9p and it should help.
That only helps marginally. What's more surprising is that changing the email applications DPI does not seems to alter the size of the forms during email composition.
Very odd.
I wish someone more versed in Android UI design would comment.

Anyone know how to actually change the reply font?
I see the size but not the default font. It isn't a big deal but I don't particularly like the serif font
