I would like to have an option to be able to have only one general window. When composing a new mail or opening another one, Mail would create a new window internally to the main window. Navigation between those new windows can be made through tabs like in Navigator or through an internal taskbar like in Eudora. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
I've played around with adding tab support to mailnews itself a bit in the past. I'll take another run at it at some point in the future...

Dan, have you had a chance to look at this any more? Do you have any WIP code that you could post as a launching point for other contributors? It would be great if this could make Thunderbird 1.0...
Aaron: unfortunately, I haven't had time to.

There's now a related bug for Thunderbird, on Bug 297379 . They even have patches. Maybe it can be adapted to Seamonkey?

I think an interface needs to be settled on before it is ported to Seamonkey. That's why I added the dependent bug.
