How can I zoom in view in Apple Mail on my MacBook Pro?

I don't see a way to zoom the view while using Apple Mail on a MacBook Pro. Typically, you can zoom the view of a window by using the cmd+ or cmd- key combinations, but these have no effect on an Apple Mail window. The default text is too small for me to comfortably read. Note that I am not talking about changing the font size within an email. I know how to change the font size in an email. I am talking about changing the zoom setting for an entire window in Apple Mail. If this feature doesn't exist, please make this feature available for those of us who struggle to read small text.

Using the Command+ key combination will only zoom the email viewing panel within the window. It does not zoom the entire window. So the list of emails does not zoom. Also, if you open a window to draft a new email, the Command+ key combination does not zoom the contents of that window. The default text size is very small, as are the buttons (font, bold, italics, etc.).

Decrease or increase your screen resolution is the only other alternative that I can think of.
