351511 2005-05-02 09:59:00 I have been using tbird for a while now but since yesterday it doesn't start in the Inbox folder. The right hand panels are blank and there is no focus on any folder. I have looked and searched for an answer but with no luck. It's not a real biggie but it should start in a pre-determined folder. Anyone seen this (and found an answer!)?

TIA.

Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Trash
etc etc?
I've had Mozilla do that but exiting and restarting it cures it.

and scroll down to Folderpane tools that's what you want. The other link was to the designer's web page as they have just released an updated version.

Cheers.
