In Outlook 2003 and 2007

1. View > Current View > Customize Current View...
   
   
   -The Customize View: Messages window appears
2. Click the 'Other Settings...' button
   
   
   -The Other Settings window appears
3. Click the 'Column Font...'
   
   
   -The Font window appears
4. Select a size that is easier to read - usually 10pt works well
   *You can even change the Font style if you wish
5. Click the 'OK' button when done
   
    
6. Continue by clicking the 'Row Font...' and 'Font...' buttons in the Other Settings window and change the Font size (and style) to match)
   -When done
7. Click OK
8. Click OK 
   -The Font size is changed

That's it!
