Question Stock Email App
It appears Samsung has removed the ability to adjust the text size in the stock email app. This was available in the Note email app. I know I can change the system font size but everything else is good. Anyone have a suggestion other than going to a 3rd party app.

TIA.

Why not try replacing the email app with the one from the Note and see what happens?
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Task650 AOKP Build 5/9/2013
JB 4.2.2
Primary Phone

Samsung Captivate SGH-i897 Build #1012
AOKP Milestone 6
ICS 4.0.4
Backup Phone

Reading XDA makes me want to slam my head against a wall after just 5 minutes.

I did this, but unfortunately our screen resolution is too high - maybe I mean pixels per inch (ppi)...

the note and the SII were 160ppi, and I think this one is much higher. The Note and SII (ICS) email apps are too small for the SIII.

If someone can find a way to fix that it will be perfect!

Most likely going to end up the same way as other GS2s. I don't think any of the older email apps from Sammy will work because of the ppi. We will most likely have to wait till a dev is able to fix (if it is even possible), or Sammy keeps reading how much people hate this email app and they fix it.

Let me know if it works though!

I surrender SR apps didn't help. I guess I am reloading Enhanced Email.

I like to use K9. Started using it with my Captivate when I first got it, and have stuck with it since. Handles everything I've thrown at it
