I want the contents of the Inbox to display in the right hand pane, whenever I click on on the root of a mailbox/account. (without showing the Email, Accounts, Advanced Features splash screen - ever. Is there a way to configure Thunderbird to behave like this? I notice that Postbox does behave the way I want by default.

Chosen solution

I suggest you use Postbox. Thunderbird will not be replacing the settings screen with the inbox. It will be having an updated display on that screen with much more detailed and useful information. But it will not be replaced.

This add-on is the proposed change. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/mail-summaries/?src=ss
