It has been removed in Manifest V3. The function mailTabs.getCurrent() shows a different behavior compared to tabs.getCurrent() and confused developers. You can use

const [mailTab] = await browser.mailTabs.query({
    active:true,
    currentWindow:true
})

Documentation has not yet been updated. This is scheduled for next week, when we officially announce Manifest V3 support. Until now, Manifest V3 is defined as unstable and not officially supported.
