I'm running Thunderbird 45.6.0 on macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and am having trouble configuring all of my preferences. The composition panel is cut off (see screenshot) and I cannot set all my preferences. There is no way for me to resize the panel. Any suggestions?

I have one person report that he could not reproduce using 51 beta (he didn't try 45), which isn't quite released yet. So if you are able to, please try the beta from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/channel/ (currently version 50)

That worked. Thanks!

Excellent!

Greatly appreciate the test and feedback. It confirms that newer releases are addressing problems related to Sierra.

If you want to continue using the betas, which are highly stable, you can just continue running it, and you will get automatic updates just for the beta. (We love beta users)
