How to change the default font for Mail application on Windows 10

The Mail application on Windows 10 is the default application to manage email, since it was officially launched in 2015. When writing emails, the default font is selected as Calibri, font size 11. This setting is the same like Microsoft Office, but you can change the default font if you want.

However, until recently, there was no easy way to customize fonts when composing content in the Mail application. If you want to change the font style, you need to change the font style every time you send an email. But a recently added feature is called the 'Default Font', which allows you to change the font style, size and color for all your accounts.
