I'm trying it and the first thing I noticed was that the font was a little small.
If you're talking about Sylpheed, goto configuration -> common preferences -> display. You can set font and size.

Have you found anything with it that is preferable to Thunderbird? I'm just wondering where most people find Thunderbird lacking.
Thunderbird is awesome. It's not really lacking much. I do like that Sylpheed has an option to specify and use an external editor (like Notepad++) for composing messages though. It also has a type option in the properties for each folder that you can set so that a folder gets the icon (like a trash icon) you want. It also has some technical options in "Configuration -> Common Preferences -> Send -> Encoding" to send message bodies as 8bit and encode headers according to RFC2231 (if you care about things like that). Sylpheed is just more technical if you're into that.

@rh99 With your free Vivaldi account, you also get a mail account with IMAP support and 5GB or storage. There's also a webmail for it at https://webmail.vivaldi.net/.
If you're not against Google/Gmail, it handles spam wonderfully and has IMAP support. It also learns from what you add/remove from the IMAP Spam folder. And, there are course filters you can specific on the server at mail.google.com.

Regarding Vivaldi's mail client: Is there any way of getting it to work with Windows 7?No. It uses Chromium like the browser part, so Win7 and 8.1 support have been discontinued just like in other Chromium-based browsers. You'd have to use an older build and the be stuck at that older build.
Any idea where these are? I found this for the browser but where are the previous builds of the mail client? And which one is Win7 compatible?

Yes I did that right away. Nothing changed. The page is still very small. I think the default is 10 and I changed it to 14. Totally the same. Not a thing changed. Maybe that's for the outgoing font of email.

I can't even get my Vivaldi browser to recognize my Vivaldi email account! I'm waiting to hear back from them about that.

I have to use Google/Gmail unfortunately. Opera doesn't seem to work with Yahoo and Google mail. So that would be nice to get those working seamlessly again. Good to hear. I'll have to try Thunderbird again. Hopefully the latest version works with Win7. When are companies going to realize there are a lot of people that choose to use Win7 over 10/11? Maybe 12 will give more user control.

@rh99 It changes the size of the body text for received messages for example (for plain text messages at least) for me.

There's no separate mail client. It's part of the browser.
See https://vivaldi.com/download/archive/?platform=win. Try the latest 5.6 build. The 5.7 builds are based on Chromium 110 and shouldn't run on Win7. But, you can try to double-check.
