The Thunderbird Addon page
Like the Firefox Browser, Mozilla's E-Mail Client Thunderbird offers the possibility to install extensions (Add-ons). To have a certain folder open on startup, we need to have the Add-on "Manually sort folders". This is on the official Addon page of Thunderbird. This will take you directly from Thunderbird there:
- Click in the menu bar of Thunderbird, click on "tools".
- In the opened sub-menu select "Addons".
- In the newly opened window, click on the left of the page to "add-ons"(see picture point 1).
- In the middle of the opened page you now read the Text "What addon are?". You click on "learn More" (see image item 2).
- You are now on the Thunderbird Addon page.

The Thunderbird Addon search and install
After you have called the add-on page, it goes on and on:
- Enter the top right in the search Manually sort folders is a panel, and start the search by clicking next to the search bar on the green arrow or simply press the Enter key.
- The first result of the search should already be the right Addon. Click on the entry and then click the green bar labeled "add To Thunderbird"(see image).
- Shortly thereafter, a small window that informs you on the Installation of the Add-ons appears. Wait a short while and then click "install Now".
- You may be prompted to restart Thunderbird new. Follow this prompt. The Add-on is now installed.
