    Windows 7 Mailboxes How to make them appear same size?

    I have Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. How can I make them appear the same text size. For some reason, the only way I can adjust the size is to View at top of screen and make changes, before I had that option at the bottom of the screen but no longer. Did updates do away with that?
