Starting Thunderbird

Are there and switches or command line arguments that will change the way Thunderbird starts?? Like getting it to open to a specific folder when you run it with this switch? A list of these might me nice if there are any.

Nope.

You can make it start with the inbox folder by settings in the Account Settings>Server Settings, but to go to another folder is something I have not been able to do.

Maybe one of the users that knows the CSS files can come up with a 'patch' for the UserChrome.CSS file.

SO for now, I looks like you get to go back to being not nice.

Well, thanks...sound like a great extention, I'd do it if I knew how or had the time.

In case anyone was wondering...it would help for people that use third-party email checkers like IM clients with mail plugins or similar.
