![]() Yeah, I'm still disappointed that they swapped out lots of their C++ implementation with JavaScript. The unit I prefer using for anything that does not require Windows or other ressource hogs (eg. ![]() In any case I started using Thunderbird as a very early adopter, mostly due to their very convincing Firebird product (I was in Tech then, too). But then the earliest emails were imported from another email client into Thunderbird. Datestamp of earliest email in a random folder is December of 1999 - 23 years ago. Still, if speed is improved even slightly I'd welcome that. ever" is credible, and I have reason to believe that speed on an 13yo X86 unit still running 32bit will not be impressive. I do not believe that the claim of "Fastest. Due to feature creep, I suppose (in other news also UX in several subtle ways that all add up). Then, speed deteriorated bit by bit over the years. Moreso than Outlook/Outlook Express in startup as well as operation. Since then I have used the same install, only updating it, and moving/cloning to other units.īack then PCs were s-l-o-w but Thunderbird was _fast_. You need to remove blank lines for it to work.Last time I installed Thunderbird seems to have been in the 00's sometime. ![]() I set a pixel size using one of the previously mentioned methods that was SO BIG I couls see nothing ledge-able on my TB window. I think I got this from the Mozilla forums or Knowledge Base.īack up your profile before fiddling with any of this.

Despite the decades spent on its development, Thunderbird is simply not ready for prime time. I don’t give a hoot what excuses or rationalizations TB developers might give for this behavior all I can say is that this is one of the factors that has deterred me from making the switch to Linux full-time. Nothing I do to maintain a decent type size seems to stick: it’s even happened that I set a line of type to the desired size, then with the cursor at the end of that line hit Enter–and the very next line goes back to tiny type. I’ve been using Thunderbird on my Linux system for 2-3 years now, and the font size issue is a recurrent source of annoyance and frustration. screenshot pictures are appreciated also, thanks. ![]() Also, maybe someone can please report if they work OK in MacOS and Linux distros, and what number values did you use, thank you. Possibly these about:config Preference Name modifications will work for others with no problems, but probably will require some experimentation depending on your screen resolution and display settings, try one or both, and remember to start small and work up to comfortable view. ![]() Note that I use Thunderbird in Windows 10 version 21H1, both Thunderbird version 68.12.1 and version 78.12.0 – and both modified preferences seem to work OK in both versions. Try increasing 100 in steps of 10 to see what works for you, I like 125. This change may take some experimentation to find a comfortable value, do not go Too Big to start, because too large can ( and probably will ) cause problems. Note that this preference change does not take effect until Tbird is closed and relaunched, unlike the fix OscarCP documents in his post, where changing the value is immediately noticed. The default value is 100, and if Double-Clicked it can be modified to a larger value, I use 125 and everything is bigger and easier to read. Using the Config Editor, (see 3 pictures below) which is like Firefox about:config, there is a Preference Name: that scales the overall size of text fonts. I would like to add an additional item to consider for increasing the text size in Thunderbird. Credit and thanks to OscarCP for post #2382483 in the MacOS Forum concerning Thunderbird email program tiny text font sizes, and a fix to increase the size to a more comfortable reading level. ![]()
