Comment 28 for bug 805136

This is still an issue on a Windows XP x86 based machine with an up-to-date Thunderbird 3.1. I'd think that the OS should be changed to "multiple" vs just being "Other Linux".

I'll work around the issue by editing the config files by hand or moving them over to another machine, but really - what a pain... Machines with small screens aren't exactly becoming /less/ popular either. Oh, and it's not possible to resize the screen in order to get the button to come into view in this version of Windows either.

Although I'm not familiar with the source of Thunderbird, I can kind of see how the components are arranged. As a programmer, I've dealt with similar situations by doing something similar to the following.

For all tabs in the Account Settings dialog:
1) Add a scrollbar container around all content on the right side pane
2) Allow the Account Settings dialog to resize dynamically
3) Set a minimum size of the right-side pane to ~550px

Another - much uglier - solution would be to allow entire dialog to be resized.
