When I open a message to read it, I can't get back to the inbox. Sometimes the "shrink to taskbar" button does the job; lots of times it doesn't! Sometimes if I go to the Thunderbird icon

Sometimes when I go to the taskbar, both the read and inbox icons are there; more often they aren't. (WIN 10)

re: When I open a message to read it,

How are you opening email to read:

  1. using a single click to open and read in Message Pane?
  2. using a double click to open in a new tab?
  3. using a double click to open in a new window?

When enabled, the 'Message Pane' is not a Preview and by default it displays below the Message List/Thread Pane. For those reading this who do not know - enable/disable location:

  • 'View' > 'Layout' > 'Message Pane'

This is where setting for what a double click opens:

  • Menu icon > Settings > General
  • under 'Reading & Display'

Open new messages - choose an option

What option is currently selected?

If opening in a new tab: You can reselect the 'Inbox' tab - but if you have a lot of tabs open then you may need to use the left chevron icon < located on the left side of the opened tabs. Or use the keyboard 'Ctrl' + 'Tab' keys to navigate through the opened tabs left to right or 'Ctrl'+'Shift'+'Tab' to do the same in reverse - right to left.

If opening in a new window : You can use 'Alt'+'Tab' to be able to rotate through any opened windows. Does this method work for you?
