What email client would you switch to? I'm curious because it seems daily that someone posts a problem and then threatens to leave if their problem isn't solved. People here are not on commission; in fact, we earn not a penny for doing the volunteer work we do. So, it will be informative for us to know what the other clients are that people switch to. Thank you.

I have used Thunderbird for probably 20 years, the problem is the inbox screen font is to small to read even with reading glasses. I can change the font on an email after it opens but not when in the inbox, and I can't be sure what message I'm opening. How do I find out how to change the font in the inbox, I'm retired and almost 80 years old and my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. I live on a fixed income and I haven't donated much money to Mozilla but have continued to use Firefox & Thunderbird even when I couldn't access some location because those locations didn't support it. I stayed with Mozilla because I wanted to support the efforts of a young startup. After reading your very helpful reply I can tell you one thing for sure. I will find one that I can see the print in the inbox, and I probably won't bother to tell you which one.

My point was that, if you want help, just ask for it. Threatening to leave accomplishes nothing. I will assume you have a typical setup, either a laptop or reasonable size desktop. To get a feel for this, the basic settings are at settings>general . The default font may appear as 14 or 16 (not sure on this) but, whatever it is, increase it by 2, so that if it had be 14 it will now be 16. Then click the 'advance tab' and set all numbers shown to that number. Next, look at top of pane and you will likely see 'Latin' or 'Other Writing Systems.' Click the menu and select whatever was the one not shown. On that screen, set the numbers to be IDENTICAL to the other. When done, the Latin pane and the Otherwritingsystems pane should look alike. Now view one of the messages. If the screensize increased, then we're on the right track. If still too small, just repeat the above with a higher number. My text here assumes that it is messages that are small, not everything. If everything, then the approach would be different. Let us know.

David, Like I said I can make the font larger after the message is opened. I can do that by going to tools, settings, font, and change that, I did that and set it to 20 and I can read a message fined after I open it. I can't see who the message is from when it is in my inbox, and I am somewhat careful about opening emails I don't the sender. I can't change the size of the print of the messages in my inbox prior to opening. I did search thru the help section and other users seem to have a similar problem, and not the those suggested fixes worked.

Try the View>fontsize feature and see if that helps. There are some tech ways to enlarge fonts, but with the new 115 release, some of those old tricks no longer work.

I tried changing the font in view but it doesn't work. The calendar is miserable. I never should have upgraded. They should have an option to go back to the old on

The problem is with the email list. Once I click on a message, it is fine with smart html. Is there not a way to change the font in the email list?

In the screen setting you can increase the font size but it screws up the calendar and other things in firefox. right click on the main screen and look at screen settings. On my computer it says 150 recommended. Firefox is ok with this but the calendar is worthless. I think this is a disaster and they ought to have a way of going back

I have google calendar on my phone and you can put it on your desktop. I think you just have to load google calendar in firefox. I did it by right clicking the screen and creating a shortcut. to https://calendar.google.com/ I think. It shows up ok in firefox

You can put google calendar on your computer to match the gmail calendar on your phone.

I had the same problem after the October update. Try View: Density and get away from the Compact option
