I'd really want to see the prefs saved when switching tabs, otherwise users will expect change that doesn't happen. ("I ticked this box then went back to the other tab and it didn't fix anything!")

I think I'd do this by, in preferencesTab.js, listening for TabSelect events on #tabmail-tabs, working out if the we're leaving the preferences tab, and if we are, firing a custom event into the content document.
