Thunderbird - specify startup folder

[Itagaki]

While I think I've been able to move the primary role of the "Manually sort folders" add-on for Thunderbird into the core (it will take some more time before it's released), there's still one thing left.

That is to select specific folders at startup.

I considered creating a new add-on to do this. However, this seems to be impossible with the WebExtension API. So what should we do? Make a monkey patch it, or work on extending the API? I think it would be much easier to implement it in the core than to do that.

I have already suggested this in the Thunderbird Developers chat, but I want to mention it here as well.

I think it would be easy to implement a mechanism to have a user-specified folder selected at startup. As for the UI for selecting the startup folder, we need to think a bit. Would it be better to specify it in the folder's context menu? How do we unassign it?

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

This is a function that should be there from the first day. Betterbird has it for example.

Thanks  Agentvirtuel

I have TB139Beta - Downloaded and set the addon it works perfectly!!

May I ask, please, the option to go to the "Last Unread"
I have double sort rules = Date ascending + Read/Unread.

This is the result, not exactly what I was expecting.

OOOPS !!!

I missed the correct setting!!!

And now it's perfect !!!

Thank you, Thank you , Thank you  !!!!!
