How do I change the font size of the folders in my folder tree (on the left)

Too small for my eyes.  I found how to change the font size of the folder
contents but not the font size of the folder itself.

thanks

Did you already modify the DPI settings in Windows? That is a much more
general approach than changing it in each and every application (if possible
already).

No I did not.  Is that the only way to increase the fonts in outlook tree?

Changing the DPI settings in Windows is the first step you should take when
fonts in the current resolution settings are too hard to read. It wouldn't
make much sense to (expect to) have such options for each and every
application and that you also have to manually modify it for each and every
application.

AFAIK, that's indeed the only way to change the font size for that pane.

No there is another way, I have done it.  Right now it is 8pt Segoe and when
you change the DPI you are not able to control the type of font, so why is it
Segoe!  It used to be in the appearance settings/advanced and by changing the
size of the icon fonts, you changed not only the desktop fonts but some
programs as well.
And of course I can change the view size of my menu fonts in almost every
program I have.. in options.
so I don't know what you mean manually change every time?
Changing the DPI you mess with everything!    
I have changed the size and font in the Tree folders to Veranda before I
just cant remember how I did it.
