Tabbed Email Reading

Posted by 3518742690 on Thu, 08/10/2006 - 17:53Thunderbird Marketing Ideas

I wonder if this is possible...

I have a Yahoo! Mail account that I don't use anymore, and the Yahoo! mail page looks like an e-mail client, sort of like Thunderbird. An exception is that they have tabbed e-mail reading.

Since Firefox has tabbed browsing, why can't Thunderbird have tabbed email reading?

If this is a bad idea, feel free to criticize me.

Great!

I am all for this idea. If Thunderbird could not make it for 2.0, let's hope they make it for 3.0 (which would be 1.9 on the Trunk), a good point to include this major feature. But lets' hope all the tabbed browsing capabilities of Firefox is included in Thunderbird at one go, which includes rearranging tabs, etc.

And clicking to thr right of the tabs...

...would let you compose a new message? I think it should be so...

This was planned

A long long time ago for Thunderbird 2.

However because of a few problems, it had to be stated for a future release.

This was planned before Yahoo released a Semi-Public Beta of their Email Service.

Oh...

...I see. So Thunderbird doesn't want to copy Yahoo's idea? Well, they did that with Firefox and tabbed browsing! Why not now?

No Sir

I just pointed out this (as in the idea for Tabbed Messages) was planned out before Yahoo released their Beta. I'm just saying it won't be in Thunderbird right away.

Myk has more on why. Check this blog.
