When viewed on QHD display, HTML messages are very narrow and zooming doesn't change width.

I am migrating to a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 with 3200x1600 13.3" display. I am using ESR17 due to plug-in compatability issues with newer versions (primarily the Funambol plugin for Calendar sync.) I have had to increase the font size to 24 to be able to see the folders and message subjects. I increased the font inside normal text messages using <ctrl><+> but when I view HTML messages, the formatted message body only fills 1/3 of the message pane and using <ctrl><+> only increases the size of the font inside this width resulting in more and more wrapping until single words have to be wrapped.o

Is this issue fixed in a newer version of Thunderbird? Is there a Calendar sync client for Funambol (OneMediaHub) or Google Calendar that works with the newer version? (I have used Funambol to sync my Calendar with my phone (was BB, now Android) for many years.

Thanks

Gerard

I suggest you use the settings in Windows are set your DPI to 120% or 150% Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display will get you there.

I have used google calendar synced to thunderbird for many many years now. No add-ons using caldav for that last few years, that just works and always has done. You might want to look at https://www.memotoo.com/

I have DPI set to 200. Most of Thunderbird 17 respects this but HTML messages do not. The scroll bar for message body is also verrry narrow. And the icons on the menu bar (e.g. Switch to Calendar Tab) are mircoscopic.

You didn't say which version of Thunderbird addresses these QHD display issues.

I have tried Google Calendar sync but I have had trouble with offline use. Last time I tried it Google's address book seems to be missing fields supported by Thunderbird's address book.
