well I think it's a bug:
double clicking on anything in the "Name" (a.k.a. folder) view
opens a new instance of the whole mail window.
I also find it very annoying whenever I run into this, especially since
opening a new MailNews 3pane window is slow and initiates a full check
for new messages for me (probably depends on how you have the
corresponding prefs set). So to me it feels like a bug, too. I think
eventually I'll file a bug and introduce a pref that allows to switch
off this behavior completely.
Until then... I've done a little analysis and found that you can toggle
the existing pref "browser.tabs.opentabfor.doubleclick" to true which
will then have the effect of opening a new tab instead of a new window.
That is much faster, and the new tab can be closed right away without
much interference if you have set new tabs to open in the background
like I have. And as far as I can see, the pref only affects MailNews (at
least I checked the browser and there it seemed to have no effect).
In case anyone wants to fix this before I get to it, the relevant code
is in suite/mailnews/msgMail3PaneWindow.js function FolderPaneDoubleClick.
