How can I configure thunderbird 3 to show each folder in its own tab?

0

In thunderbird 3, I can open new tabs if I middle-click, but the behaviour I want is for left-click to open a new tab if there is not already a folder open for a given tab; or to switch to the tab displaying that folder if there is.

Is there a configuration setting or addon which will make thunderbird behave like that?

It's not precisely what you want but have a look at Quickfolders add-on

Quickfolders is a tool which allows you to bookmark folders onto a new toolbar. You can then drag mail to that folder icon on the toolbar, and also click the icon to go directly to that folder - all without scrolling around or searching.

@Nathan.Eilisha Shiraini I hope I have addressed this concern – wsmwk – 2018-08-28T12:41:54.503

From Thunderbird 3 Features :

Right-clicking on messages or folders will open them in a tab in the background.

OK... but how do I get them to open with a left-click, and how do I get them to be one per folder? – Simon – 2009-12-10T15:02:04.213

I don't believe you can do that with a left-click. – harrymc – 2009-12-10T15:18:09.657
