I am using Thunderbird on 12.3 to read my gmail messages.
I have tried unsuccessfully to change the font size of received messages. The settings in preferences do not work.
Is there a way of changing dont sizes in messages ?
There are several ways, besides those mentioned by others. Which controls a particular message depends in part on the message itself, which may be specifying its own fonts (rich text or HTML) or not (plain text), and may be using an encoding you haven't adjusted your preference for. Your font size preferences only affect messages that do not attempt to specify fonts, unless you either uncheck the allow messages to use other fonts preference box, or in your view menu select message body as plain text. Note that not all font sizes are visible at once in prefs. The top selector defaults to Western encoding, but there are many other encodings in that list that are controlled separately.

Thank you both I have now fixed my problem.

I didn't 'fix it' for you - I merely asked you a simple question and you did the rest :-) . I'm glad you've got it sorted out. But also keep in mind that you can get additional fonts if the fonts you now have are not quite to your liking. (Bearing in mind that fonts come in 2 main flavours: those produced especially for the monitor screen and those produced to look good in print.)
