Hello,

I'm a very long time TBird user (since about v0.8 or so), and while the have always been bumps in the road, I've always been very happy with it overall. When I first started reading about some of the IMAP improvements in TB3, I got/am very excited... but...

I would like to beg (since I'm not a programmer, that's all I can do) that there be an option to provide a 'Single Tab View' mode, so that any action that now opens a new Tab, will simply open in the current Tab, thus completely and totally killing the Tab functionality in Thunderbird. I hate it. I understand the argument, and have no problem with anyone who likes it, but I hate it.

I have a netbook, and have a heavily modified minimalist UI in TB2 that I love, and do not want to change (attachment to follow).

This way, when I set the preference to hide the Tab bar when only one Tab is open, I will never, ever see the Tab bar.

Thanks for listening...

Reproducible: Always
