58009 - Cannot open a new folder window without losing the 1st one

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35389

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 10/25/2000 MN6 build on NT4 **

Under Comm 4.x, I can have an Inbox folder open, then choose
another folder with the right-mouse click, bring up a contextual
menu and choose to open that folder in a new window. This is
an important function for people like who have multiple folder windows
open all the time.
Yet this simple operation is not possible without losing the
first window with the above build because the moment
you select the target folder with the right-mouse click,
that folder is opened and replaces the 1st one. I then
have to bring up the contexual menu and choose the 1st one
again. This is not very good UI.

I hope this has been already discussed and its
importance debated.
