Steps to reproduce:

Wanted to always start Thunderbird in a particular account, searched and discovered the -mail command line option which takes an account url as a parameter.

Actual results:

Added the -mail option to Thunderbird startup, and discovered it opens a second mail window.

Expected results:

The documentation led me to believe the option would set the focus of the first window, rather than creating a second one.

I don't know if I've discovered a bug in documentation or software.
I'd like to have a way to start Thunderbird with a particular account focused, rather than the last account I happened to look at, but only need one window opened, not two.
