Details

STR 1 tb main mail win, place focus anywhere you please 2 press alt+home Actual - we show tb mail home page in small preview area only -> only small part of that nice page is visible, user won't see much of the information we present (but this is really a kind of showcase!) - user needs to scroll both up/down and left/right to see the rest, yet never sees it as a whole - often problem's with selected msg, if you want to see it again instead of home page; breaks workflow in main win - inconsistent with behaviour after install, where we show the start page nicely in a separate tab (or do we?) Expected - show mail start page in a new tab (if it's already open, activate that tab) - like we do after install - show our start page in full splendor and beauty ("showcase") - with all the information at a glance (no scrolling required) Let the bird fly & rule! ;)

Extra benefit of implementing this bug: Make it easy and safe to open TB Mail Start Page from ANY tab (without losing your current workflow), instead of disabling it on all tabs except the main window -> bug 530558
