There is a setting that can change all of the Thunderbird UI. Folder Pane, Thread Pane, Menus, Emails etc.

  • 'Menu icon (3 lines) > Options > Options > Advanced > 'General' tab
  • click on 'Config Editor' button

It may say 'here be dragons' as a type friendly warning to be careful :)

  • In top search type: pixels
  • Look for this line: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

The default is -1.0

  • Double click on that line to open a small window.
  • clear contents and type in eg: 1.5 or 1.75 or 2.0 or 2.25 etc
  • click on OK

You will see instant effects, so try out different sizes eg: 1.5 or 1.75 or 2.0 or 2.25 etc until you get one that suits you.
