Just moved to Windows 10 on new machine. Installed fresh Thunderbird. merged my address book from old computer. I want to be able to click on mail in inbox and have it open to a new window, instead of in a tab. This is how my old computer is set up in Windows 7, but I cannot seem to find how to do this again on my new set up.

Would copying some part of the profile from the old machine work?
