I use an imac and mac products. I see many answers of how to make the font size of the text bigger when wanting the folders section, the outgoing font etc look larger but my issue is when looking at the inbox or within any other folder that is, the font of the actual emails sitting in the inbox is too small. I tried the config and changing the numer to 1.45 but that helped everything except the actual message list of messages in the mailboxes.

I have attached an image of the part of the inbox i would like to see more clearly.

I'm not sure what you want. You mention the fonts of actual emails is too small (and that can be addressed by tools>preferences>fonts&colors - not sure of MAC menu structure...) but here is some sample text that can be used in userControl.css. The font-family and colors are just examples:

In config editor:

  toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true 

Try this css code:

/* Threads Pane font and background*/

  1. threadTree > treechildren {
 font-size: 12pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}

/* Folder Pane font and background*/

  1. folderTree > treechildren {
 font-size: 12pt !important;
 font-family: Times !important;
 background-color: lightgrey !important;
 color: navy !important;

}
