Some helpful configuration tips for working with [http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird]

If you're used to working with light text on a dark background I've found this theme to be pretty handy: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2106 PitchDark for Thunderbird]

The config reference is here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mail_and_news_settings

Under the general (non-account) preferences Advanced tab you'll find a '''Config Editor''' button. You can also edit these by updating {{{prefs.js}}} directly. Here's some settings I've found useful:
