Thunderbird Support Forum

When I am deleting emails, I frequently end up with the same email as most recent in my inbox and thus automatically selected. This opens a new tab with the same email as content and soon my tab section is filled up with multiple versions of the same few emails and the inbox tab pushed off the screen.

Can there not be a setting to open up the existing tab if it has the same content. Or alternatively a way to pin the folder tab (normally inbox) on the left of the tabs permanently.

Other tabbed applications do not open up multiple tabs with the same content.

Yes I could shut the unwanted, repeated tab each time Thunderbird opens it, but I don't want to have to.

This seems like an easy feature? Please??

I use Thunderboard on a PC and googlemail on an iPad. On TB, there are 2 tabs - Sent and Sent Mail. Their contents differ but should be integrated under one name but messages sent from the iPad land in Sent Mail, not Sent.

I thought this TB and Gmail could be synchronised? How??

If you have enabled the Menu Bar, maybe you find it is the same colour as the Unified folder and want to change it. Maybe you want to change the colour of the opened Tabs. Read the information below to help you use 'userChrome.css' and tailor make your own Thunderbird.
