The Folder pane and message list are showing up as about 6 point on my 27 inch Apple screen and very hard to read. I know there is a font adjuster add-on for Firefox Mac users, but is there the same for Thunderbird? (Before I go blind!)

You can go about it differently, using a userChrome.css file to set the styling. Shout if you want to pursue that option.

This one looks like a similar reply: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/theme-font-size-changer-for-tb/reviews/1032954/

But it leaves a lot of detail out, making assumptions that users can open xpi files, search them, edit source code and then re-zip them. Not for the faint-hearted.
