Maximize Message Pane for ThunderBird

Maximize Message Pane is a Thunderbird extension that enhances your email reading experience. By changing the layout of the panes, you can now read your emails in a larger area without opening a new message window. However, it is worth noting that there may be some bugs or conflicts with other extensions, which could corrupt the layout and hinder recovery. In such situations, deleting localstore.rdf in your profile directory and restarting Thunderbird will help recover the layout.

In case the problem persists, before giving up and recreating your profile, do not hesitate to ask for help via email or by posting on the blog.

The primary feature of Maximize Message Pane is collapsing the thread pane, allowing you to read messages in a larger area. Other key features include hiding the folder pane, changing folder selection from the toolbar button, hiding the message pane by toolbar button, saving visibility of the folder pane and last selected message, and changing message selection by the navigation bar when the message pane is maximized.

Maximize Message Pane requires Thunderbird 1.5 or later to ensure seamless functionality. Try it out!
