For the last 2 months I have been working to configure Thunderbird to fully replace my Gmail UI usage after their recent change to workspace options and using data to train gemini. When you deactivate those gmail features the first thing you lose are tabs for your Inbox, your Updates and your Promotions.
So far I have used tags, ThunderAI, Ollama and a locally hosted LLM to replicate the sorting of my inbox, but now I would like to be able to configure the Thunderbird UI to allow separate tabs in the menu bar for different folders, in this case Inbox, Updates and Promotions. With Inbox still being the gmail hosted main inbox and Updates and Promotions now being local folders stored in my local thunderbird installation.
Can the Thunderbird UI be configured to display folders as tabs as a default setting? I tried the "folder selection" button under customize on the toolbar but that just gives me a drop down, which is not what I want.

Hello,
I'm trying to create a calendar event with irregular recurrence. Not only is the starting time different, but also the duration. Since AFAIK this is not possible using the interface, I directly edited the .ics to this:
RDATE;VALUE=PERIOD:20260506T063000Z/20260506T130000Z,20260507T054500Z/20260507T110000Z
I then manually synced the calendar. The starting time is honored, the duration, however, is not. I found the entry in the .ics changed by Thunderbird to this:
RDATE:20260506T063000Z RDATE:20260507T054500Z
How can I get Thunderbird to honor the different durations?
Thanks

I accidentally archived multiple messages today that I had deliberately kept in my inbox for attending to later. My archive folder is set to "All Mail" unfortunately. Can I sort the messages in All Mail by date archived? It will be a massive task for me to find them otherwise as the messages I want to retrieve are up to 2 years old

I've noticed that if I attach a file to an outgoing message then use ctrl+enter to send the message, Thunderbird also opens the attachment. How can I prevent it from doing the latter?

Tags summary display has disappeared.
I can search for tags, but the convenient "tags folder" is gone. Please help.
Tried in safe mode with add-ons and toolbars/controls disabled. Error console is empty when assigning or removing tags.
