Hello folks,

Guess what I am doing on Christmas day :-)

Yup, just installed Thunderbird on two of my work machines, laptop despite its large 17" has difficulty displaying the folders and associated fonts, they are just too small.

Adjusted font size for actual reading of message but this is more to do with actual layout.

Read a few articles but I think perhaps out of date now.

Thanks for any pointers and Happy Christmas.

Thanks, I found the solution by changing the CSS style sheet, fairly easy to do although 'options' tab is now 'preferences' 'if following YouTube guides.

Change the -9.1 to a plus of around 1.25 depending on screen size, works great.
