The font size for the whole display is far too small. Also the viewing panel for each email is far too narrow but the text when writing emails is huge. Should I go back to an earlier version?

Hi, There is no easy way to change that, but here is a trick on how you can do it.

1. Click on settings 2. Scroll down the "general" settings page to the bottom 3. Click on the "Config editor" 4. Accept the warning 5. In the search field find "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" 6. the default value is -1.0 7. Click on the value and change it to say 1.3 and you will see the changes immediately.

I hope that helps!

P.S You can play with View->Density together with this setting to make it as you wish.
