This is the easiest, least invasive way to work around the lack of 'forced zoom' options in protonmail accessibility settings, for WINDOWS operating sytems.
1) Type 'magnifier' into your computer search menu
2) As the word 'magnifier' appears on the list of searched items 'right-click' on it and select 'add to taskbar'
3) Open the magnifier from your taskbar and choose 125% zoom
4) Close magnifier in the usual way, click on 'x' in top corner etc, and it should reduce back to a taskbar icon
5) Now open your Protonmail desktop app and size the screen window to fill about two-thirds of your screen area, more or less centred in the middle of the screen
6) Open a typical email in your inbox
7) Now simply click on the taskbar magnifier icon and the email should be easily readable
8) Simply close magnifier again just before you close the protonmail app
9) If you need a bit more or less magnification, just adjust the % zoom in the magnifier. 125% produces readable mail for me, though our eyes and screen sizes etc. are all a bit different, so adjust to your own preferences
This avoids having to add browser extensions and sometimes hackable add-ons to your browser, and might be helpful unitl Protonmail add a 'force zoom' accessibility choice to the desktop app settings menu
