In this guide, we will be discussing the methods to fix the Windows 10 Mail issue that results in printing email messages very small in size. Windows 10 comes with a baked-in email application that beholds all the important feature set. Making use of the POP and IMAP configurations, it supports many popular email clients including Outlook, Exchange, Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud among others. All in all, adding multiple accounts and managing them has become quite an easy task, thanks to this app.
However, as of late, there is a major issue bugging this app. Whenever users are trying to take a printout of their email, the output is rather compressed to one-quarter of the page. More often than not, all the contents are getting transferred to the top left of the page. There have already been countless complaints across many Microsoft Forums regarding this issue. In this guide, we will make you aware of the plausible reason for this error and how you could fix it. Follow along.
