Gmail's Web interface can be customized in a variety of ways, and that extends to the size of the text on screen and the spacing between messages. Controls built into your Web browser can also be used to change the font size used by Gmail or switch to a full-screen mode. Other Gmail configuration options enable you to change the Web app's themes and colors and the amount of storage space available to you in your Gmail account.
Open the Gmail site in your default Web browser and log in using your Google Account credentials if prompted.
Click the black cog icon on the right to reveal the "Settings" drop-down menu. Choose "Comfortable," "Cozy" or "Compact" to change the spacing between the conversation threads.
Hold down "Ctrl" and tap the "+" key to zoom into the page and make the text larger. Hold "Ctrl" and tap "-" to zoom back out.
Tap "F11" to switch to full-screen mode, which hides the browser and operating system interface to leave more room for Gmail. Press "F11" again to exit full-screen mode.
Tips & Warnings
You are given 15GB of free space, which is split across Gmail, Google Drive and Google+ Photos. You can purchase more storage space by following the "Manage" link at the bottom of the Gmail inbox, directly underneath the message showing how much room your emails are currently taking up. Prices start at $4.99 per month for 100GB of space and go up to $799.99 per month for 16TB, as of August 2013.
If you are accessing Gmail through a mobile Web browser or mobile app, zoom features may or may not be available. Check the help pages supplied with the app in question to see if zoom features are available and how to use them.
