Do I understand correctly that the only place you were not able to increase the font size is the email message? That font size is partly controlled in Settings > Display > Fonts and Colors, and partly controlled by the message content.

In the email message itself and all the folders content. like posteingsang, gesendet, etc.

Font size should impact both message display and message list. Size is set in the app menu ≡.

What sizes have tried ?

Flags: needinfo?(mail)

All available in that scale. from 9 to 30

I know about no change for the font size in messages since TB 102.
Try to increase the font size in "Settings > General > Fonts & Colors > Advanced..." or in German "Einstellungen > Allgemein > Schriftarten und Farben > Erweitert..." and then select "Other Writing Systems" or "Andere Schreibweisen" and change the size. A re-selection of the message is needed to see a size change. If this doesn't happens then try "Latin" or "Lateinisch". It's a bit complicated with the many writing systems in this dialog but this two writing systems I noted are the most used in our region.

Summary: Version 115 Fonts are too small. → Version 115 Fonts in messages are too small.

This is what i tried first, as it was mentioned in the support forum. But didnt change anything.

It would be helpful to understand what is going on if those with a 'bug' could post this info:
In Thunderbird

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • scroll down to 'Important Modified Preferences'
  • Copy all lines that start with 'font.' and paste info into this bug report.
