User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 (.NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100227 Thunderbird/3.0.3

There have been times in which I received messages in multiple inboxes.  At that point, it would be nice if the notification window would take me to the the smart folder where I can see and read ALL the messages, not just those for one account.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wait for new messages to arrive in multiple accounts at once
2. Click a message in the notification window
3.
Actual Results:  
TB will take you to one of the inbox folders

Expected Results:  
TB should offer to take you to the inbox smart folder.

Note: While I selected x86_64, that only specifies that Vista is 64-bit.  TB is a 32-bit build.

Will, you are saying you want the UI to change to folder pane in Unified mode, if it is not in unified?

It has been over a year.  But I think the messages arrived via GMail.  If so, TB would show them in the inbox and in any virtual folders created by tags assigned in GMail to the message.  Example: I have a GMail tag for comic subscriptions.  TB shows them in my inbox and the Comic folder.  The popup window that notifies me of new mail will show that message twice.  If you click the wrong link in the notify window, you end up in the comic folder.

But then, this could be unrelated.  As noted, it has been over a year.

I'm having the same issue with version 15.  By the way, the problem started when I updated to this version.
