Apple Mail mailbox list icon display size

I can not find how to change the size of the mailbox icons in Apple mail! They are big now, and I want the icons to be smaller so I can see more. I am talking about the left column in Apple Mail where the mailboxes are displayed. I have the latest verison of Lion. I am sure it is simple, but I can not find it!

The setting is not in an obvious place, but is where logic places it. Consider that that part of the Mail window is a Sidebar....


Go to System Preferences > General and in the middle part of that screen is a pulldown menu to set the icon size in the Sidebar. Reset that. You can leave the Mail window open while you make that change; the change is 'live' so you'll see the effect immediately.
