Thunderbird 115.4.1
Hi,
The previous version of Thunderbird before Nova showed me the accumalated size totals of folders/subfolders for each email account I have. Now it only shows the size of each folder, not including any sub folders. Is there a way of changing this please? Thanks, Kevin Seal.

How did you see the total size of all folders for the account? With an add-on? For accounts that support quotas, it has always been possible to see the size from the Inbox right-click menu, Properties.
On the left hand side where it lists all the email accounts one is subscribed to, if you click on the 3 dots and select show folder size it shows the size of each folder. And if you collapse each email account down, it used to show the total size of all mails in that account. Now it does not! A very backwards step in my opinion.
How do I revert back to an older version?
You're right, the folder size is shown in the Folder Pane if enabled, but the total account size is not when the account is collapsed (unlike in TB 102). It seems to be an active bug, but so far no reports of a fix. You could add your comments and vote for the bug to see if there is any progress.
Downgrading to an earlier version is possible but not guaranteed to be seamless. Install the older version, don't run at the end of install, start Profile Manager from the Run box (Winkey+R):
<path to older TB>thunderbird.exe -p --allow-downgrade
choose the profile used by 115.
