I know we're able to use Ctrl+Mouse Wheel to zoom in and out, but is there a way of permanently setting the default zoom for the reading pane?

Best Answer

The Zoom level fixed appears to be fixed now in Outlook 2016. If you click on the zoom number in the lower right corner of your Outlook window, it will pop up a dialog.

Enter the desired zoom level, and click the box to save the preference. Walla! This will cure it for your messages in the reading pane.
