I just installed 95.5.1 (64 bit) and the font size in the inbox is tiny. How do enlarge that? It wasn't that way on my other machine but I was using 32 bit. Is that the difference? Are there plans to allow us to change some of these settings?

Thank you, Terry

Please review Tools>Preferences>General. Click the 'advanced' button in Font section and set minimum font size to your preference. This is also an opportunity to set other font sizes and preferences.

Do you mean the font of the list of messages in a folder, the Threads Pane? See this topic:

Every so-called answer to this problem DOES NOT WORK! I followed the instructions noted above but was not able to get the font size in my inbox to be acceptable. I will be uninstalling Thunderbird unless I can get a suitable answer as to why I cannot increase the font size in my inbox.

First, we are volunteers here. Second, what you described as your problem turned out to be wrong. It's not the messages in inbox, it's the message list pane. Third, what sfhowes provided is guaranteed to address that issue, if performed properly. I encourage you to review those steps carefully.
