By turning it on, we are ready to set up Gmail with Thunderbird. Email clients aren’t as popular as they once were.This setting is the reason that even with IMAP activated, Thunderbird couldn't connect. When T Bird went haywire with the other developers I spent forever looking for a decent replacement and couldn’t find one, paid or free. Big Linux distros have these features, I’d guess MacOS too, somewhere. There are also scaling settings in Settings.

For Windows, right click the T Bird executable, click properties, click compatibility, click high dpi settings. I’m not familiar with MacOS but there has to be a setting somewhere that will scale the program differently, similar to dpi settings in windows. Mozilla took it back a year or so ago and has improved it dramatically in the meantime. T Bird was handed off from Mozilla to an independent developer a few years ago who really messed it up. I have to do that occasionally on Windows when add ons don’t work after an update, a real pain. Like many programs it saves some info for reinstalls. After uninstalling, look for remnants under your user name and anywhere else. For a corrupted T Bird setup, an uninstall and reinstall is probably needed.
