Can I make the inbox list compact in Win11?
I have long had Thunderbird configured the way I like it on Windows 10 - a folder browser on the left, a listbox with one text line per email along the top, and the majority of the window showing the currently-selected window. Each entry in the listbox has multiple columns, with subject, sender, date, etc.
The individual items within the listbox on Windows 11 are very wide - the same-size pane that showed ten emails now shows only three. (the folder browser pane is also now only as tall as the email pane instead of being the whole left side.) And it's not arranged in columns; the subject and sender stack atop one another and htere's a blank line beneath them; no column headings or column-click-to-sort. It's now intolerable to browse.
Yes, I have a cluttered inbox and many cluttered folders. But I would like to see a dozen emails at a time, not three or four, and have column headings I can use to sort email easily. Is there any way to force the email list to be a traditional compact listbox on Windows 11, or is this simply a Win11 system interface choice we can't do anything about?

The most recent versions of Thunderbird now have additional options which some people like and others prefer the more traditional look.
re :not arranged in columns; the subject and sender stack atop one another and htere's a blank line beneath them; no column headings or column-click-to-sort. It's now intolerable to browse.
You are viewing the 'Cards View' option. You need to change this to 'Table View'
I've included an image below showing how it's done as a guide. On the new toolbar called 'Message List Header' : Locate 'Quick Filter' button and on the right of that - click on icon to see drop down options. Select 'Table View'

Sounds like the 'Message Pane' is below and uses the entire width of window.
Usually if people have the 'Cards View' they use the 'Vertical view' for Message Pane, so it displays on the far right, thus allowing the full height of window in mid section for the 'Cards View' But it sounds like you are using the 'Wide' view.
Try this: 'View' > 'Layout' > select 'Classic view'
