When I close/delete an email, how do I stop Thunderbird from automatically opening the next message and instead return to my Inbox?
When I want to close or delete an open email, I want Thunderbird to return to my Inbox rather than opening the next message. I cannot find a place that gives me this option. I recently had to redownload the program and this option used to be there.

There is an add-on you might find useful:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/deselect-on-delete/
Firefox wouldn't let me add it because it couln't be verified. Thanks anyway.
You were given a link telling you how to install into Thunderbird, but that message says you tried to install it into Firefox.
Thanks for pointing that out. I misread the add-on site. Wasn't really aware that add-ons were also a "thing" within Thunderbird itself.
Firefox and Thunderbird share, or have shared a lot of code. There is effectively a browser built into Thunderbird so it can render html, and of course this browser uses Firefox source code.
Being based on a common design, they use (or have used) the same mechanism for add-ons. These are generally offered as files with an xpi extension. This leads to complications in that if Firefox is presented with an xpi file, it will assume it is to be installed into Firefox. The user needs to know to download the xpi file and then install it into Thunderbird.
This has become more complex in that Firefox has recently undergone a radical change and its extensions now use a different technology. They still use xpi files, but Firefox add-on pages are now not so helpful in identifying the Thunderbird variants. This may become easier when the new thunderbird.net site comes on line, presenting just Thunderbird add-ons.
I have 20 or so add-ons in Thunderbird and I cannot imagine using it without these. I am quite apprehensive about the upcoming changes in Thunderbird rendering these useless. :-(
