Does command + scroll wheel do anything?

You need to edit your userChrome.css.

Go to ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[yourProfileName]/chrome/ (creating the chrome directory if it doesn't exist) and edit userChrome.css, again creating if it doesn't exist.

For example, to edit all text in Thunderbird (except message view), enter the following:

/* Global UI font */
* { font-size: 18pt !important;
  font-family: Verdana !important; 
} 

The result looks something like this:

alt text

Unfortunately, I was unable to find the CSS class for the message list. Replace the * in the css with that css class and it should work as intended.

Yes, this example is exaggerated, but how else can I prove it works? – Daniel Beck Jan 26 '11 at 18:30
