Every time I open Thunderbird I have to hit the f8 key to remove the message pane. I'm sick and tired of this! With any other program whatever way you make a setting it is the same when you reopen the program unless you want to change it. Please allow any setting changes you make stay that way unless you want to change it. Please! I did say please.

Are you running any software like CCleaner? That software tends to mess with the settings in Thunderbird. Thunderbird is designed to open just like you closed it. Including with the message Pane turned off.

I have this problem and I do run Ccleaner. I saw in another message that Thunderbird creates a file called session.json which it uses to remember settings from session to session. Ccleaner deletes this file so Thunderbird doesn't remember that you want message pane off.

I told Ccleaner to exclude this file. I closed Thunderbird, I ran Ccleaner, and then I reopened Thunderbird and the message pane was gone.

For those of you who wish to use Ccleaner & Thunderbird this seems to fix the F8 message pane issue.
