Emails will not open unless I double click

Post by gilloz »

A few days ago, I've noticed that I can no longer open an email unless I double click on them. I've been through all the settings in Thunderbird and nothing seems to make any difference. I'm I overlooking something?

Moving to Thunderbird Support.

Is Thunderbird opening those messages in a new tab, a new window, or the preview pane?

When I click on the email, nothing happens other then it being highlighted Blue. I have to double click in order for it to open and it opens as if I enlarged the window, which is a new enlarged tab, if that is what you are asking?

Then that's normal. If you want to view the message after a single click you'll need to use the preview pane by pressing F8 while viewing the main window to open that preview pane.
