It would be very nice to have a new entry in the context menu of bold email
folders (exactly folders with at least 2 new mails), which does the same as
"Open Message in New Window", but for all new messages in that folder and in
only 1 new (tabbed!) window.

Mailnews has no tabbed interface for messages so a context menu would be
meaningless. Unless you mean mailnews messages should open in the browser,
which would make this something like a dup of bug 105955 (WONTFIX)

Mailnews has a context menu entry "Open Message in new Window", which opens a
new browser window and displays only the selected message with the Mailnews
frames not visible. What I'm asking for is an additional feature to display all
unread messages of a given folder this way with a single click which should not
result in 1 new window for every message but 1 new window with 1 tab for each
message.

Can you attach a screenshot of the window you get when a message is opened with
"Open Message in new Window"? When i use that menuitem here, it opens the
message in a Mailnews window, not a browser window.

Yes.. that is what i mean. Your screenshot doesn't show a browser window.
It shows a mailnews window. There is no tabbed interface for mailnews messages,
so it's pointless to add a context menu for a feature that doesn't exist.
