How do I resize the height of the "To:" pane?

more options

I recently updated to v12 and must now scroll through a long list of "To:" addresses. Previously, I could grab the bottom of the subject pane and drag it downward with the addressee pane, enlarging both, to see all addresses at once.

You upgraded all the way to Ver. 12? The current version is 24.6.

Grabbing the bottom of the subject line still works just fine. Restart with add ons disabled and see if one is messing with you. You can do this from the HELP menu.

Oh, and install the current version.

Want to change the default size of the addressing pane so I can see at least 3 or 4 of the recipients - Now if I put an address into the to field it disappears up so I can't see at least 3 or 4 recipients

From the menu bar select Tools-Options-General Click on Config Editor and promise to be careful In the search box enter numrows Right click that line and select Modify. Enter the number of address fields that you would like to be displayed.

Back out of this and restart Thunderbird to set the new default.

No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key to make it appear.

Did you restart Thunderbird after making the change?

If yes and it still did not work, restart with add ons disabled to see if one of those is messing with you. You can do that from the Help menu.
