Column headers, title bars
I was in two minds whether to post this i not as quite minor really, that said Thunderbird will be my default email client on several machines so may as well get Q's out of the way.
Changed the font size for emails and folder text which is spot on, the only other thing would be to have the title bars or column headers (subject, correspondent, date and so on) in bold as a quick glance makes them seem part of the emails.
This option is probably available similar to changing the font inside config file but I may not be searching for the right thing, 'headers' returns results for the actual message format.
On another note, in case this pops up later on, while dragging icons from the toolbar selection tray the 'delete' button didn't quite make it, the button is no longer in the tray (as an option) or on the menu ?
Many thanks all

This can be done with css:
#threadTree treecol, #threadTree .treecol-image {
background-color: orange !important;
border-inline-start: 1px solid grey !important;
padding-top: 2px !important;
padding-bottom: 2px !important;
color: black !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;}
Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the colors and numbers as desired.

Many thanks sfhowes for taking the time to reply in such detail.
Found the folder, will try tomorrow when able to concentrate, thanks again.
Didnt work for me right away, had to place the file in another folder, think has something to do with new version of firefox. My new directory\file was: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\<string>.default-release\chrome\userChrome.css
