Thunderbird earns its tabs
David Bienvenu has announced that the ability to open messages in tabs has been added to Thunderbird in-development code. It’s pretty simple and useful, right-click in a message and select Open Message in New Tab.
As you can see in the screenshot, the folders and messages lists are kept in a separate tab.
It’s still rough in the edges as one may expect from a very early implementation. For example the tab close buttons don’t work and you can’t double click a message to open a tab but this will get worked out in the next few days or weeks along with an option to open message on tabs or windows by default.
Without a doubt a welcomed improvement that Thunderbird 3 users will sure appreciate.

This is interesting. I haven’t tried this yet, and I’m wondering if this is a big a hit as it is with web browsing? Anyone who tried it?

David, I am not much into desktop email clients as my main email client is Gmail. But having been a long time Yahoo! Mail beta user before that I really came to value the tab interface. It really helped me keep thing organized. That’s one single feature I’d like to see in Gmail soon.
