Title: Any Thunderbird users here?
Post by: TrevL on December 23, 2021, 11:25:57 AM
After a recent W10 update, my PC had a meltdown and wouldn't let me in at all.  Had to put into the shop for fixing, and the off-shoot was I had to have a Windows re-install.  Thus, I lost, all my contacts, my MS Office, Firefox, Steam and Thunderbird
I seem to have most of this sorted now, but for one small thing.  The text on the opening page of Thunderbird is just too small to be comfortable and I can't seem to find a zoom button.  Actual messages are OK, it's just the opening page where all the messages are listed.

Any hints Folks?

I've no idea, but if you contact Brains at Tracy Island, he might be able to help.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

You could try Tool>Preferences>General and there is a Font and Font Size setting part way down the page. I don't know if that will solve your problem, but it is worth trying.

Must admit never heard of Thunderbird email client before, good old web based Outlook for me.
