Help What's wrong with the email client ?

All my emails look huge and I can't seem to resize them. I mean what's the point of having a email client if you can't even look at your freaking emails.
 
I just came on here looking for this exact answer. Im haveing the same problem. im using the htc email i guess. i entered my hotmail account into it, and my emails are huge and also when a email link is in it, it doesnt show as a link you can just touch? any help would be great as right now i would rather not use my email account at all like this.
 
in settings/display/font size, which size do you have enabled? medium works for me. extra large doesn't allow an email to fit within the frame of the one x screen.
 
I'm wondering if this is specifically a hotmail issue. I have 3 mail accounts set up with the HTC mail client and don't have this problem.
Just a thought :)
 
Ok so i put my gmail account on the HTC email app and it does the same thing except for the web links are now clickable? so that problem is hotmail. but the emails are still huge. now im not talking text only emails. im talking emails like best buy where ther are alot of pictures and ebay emails where it showes pictures of the items you are watching. And i cant even zoom out to get even half of the email on the screen. So now i open the gmail app and try it there. it is a bit better on there but still cant zoom out to make the email on the screen. I just would hate to not be able to use the htc email because i like to have the visual number of emails on the screen.
 
Well i have downloaded the hotmail app and it works great. but sadly no visual indication like on the htc mail. So this is definatly a HTC email problem. I sure wish someone on here knew how to fix it.

Do you mean your text isn't wrapping to fit the page? Just checked and my mine is but strangely enough I am having that problem in the this forum when trying to read it. Only works when I turn the screen on its side. Then if I switch it back to portrait after that then the text wraps and fits?
 
No i dont have a problem if the email is just text. if anything else is on the email it blows it up huge to where i can only see about 1/4 of the email on my screen.
 
Yep since day one and i have reset the device and uninstalled hotmail and reinstalled it, same problem. does any one here use the htc email with a hotmail account?
 
So all of my emails come out looking like this and and i cant re size them to look any smaller. Can anyone help ?

I've never used the standard app, but if you want a dedicated mail app, K9 -Mail is a pretty good alternative.
 
are you setting up gmail from within the standard app? as in selecting new account from the menu and then picking gmail? not suggesting i have any solution, just want to know your starting point.
 
what parameters did you set within gmail/hotmail before adding them to the htc email client? gmail seems to have more options than htc email. wonder if they function when gmail is within htc email.
