Email inbox font too small

more options

Recently updated Thunderbird which seemed to change some of my settings and make things a little awkward.


I have managed to reduce the menu font size using userchrome, But struggling on how to increase the inbox font size in top panel. I also cant figure out how to get rid of all the information in the bottom panel where you see email sender and so on.

Any one able to offer any advice?

If you are referring to the message list pane, try view>font size to increase it.

Using view>font size doesn't do anything.
