Hello, please , could it be posible to open in Thunderbird ONLY 1 E-mail at the time ? Because when I open more than 4 e-mail at the time I have to close all to get some kind of order in the Viev .

I would like to be able to select or switch the option several Tabs in Viev or one Tab only in viev .

Many thanks for considering my idea . My best regards Gabriel

Hi Thunderbird has some options for how emails open. One of those options only allows you to open one email at a time. Opening a new one closes the one that is open. In Thunderbird -> Options -> Display -> Advanced tab - Your choices are to open messages in / A new tab / A new message window / An existing message window The third option is the one that allows only one message to be open at one time. Try those options out and see what works best for you. I also use the 'message pane' - that shows one message in a pane below your inbox. You can turn that on with Menu - View - Layout - Message Pane (or press F8). Agnes
