Did they ever hear about “user friendly” interfaces? They could at least add the “Search” field somewhere – otherwise, it’s not possible to find anything.

Here is the way to change the default font:

  • Click “Mail Format” tab
  • Click “Stationery and Fonts…” button
  • Select “Personal Stationery” tab
  • Click “Font” button to change the font

It’s nice, isn’t it?

Here there are even more paths for different options.
