Just a small update: my add-on mentioned in comment 37 no longer works due to the changes in the add-ons API. Sadly, I don't have time to fix this since I already have too many things on my plate. This means that there's not really any existing solution for this bug for TB 78 users.
Some sort of fix along the lines of the attached patch (i.e. something that doesn't require setting a pref) would probably be ideal, although I haven't done much Thunderbird stuff for a while so couldn't say exactly what the behavior should be... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1653351 Title: Have option to not automatically open next email Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Invalid Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have found that with Thunderbird if I open an email and then press a button such as the "Junk" or "Delete" button, it will automatically move on and open the next email. Now as I get a lot of spam on this email in the inbox with the spam filter not properly configured yet, it would be very useful if there were an option to disable this automatically opening the next email feature. So that it would just go to the blank screen in the email display section. Quite a few people I know for similar reasons say they would like an option like this so that malicious emails don't accidentally get opened.
