This is an enhancement, not a bug. I tend to agree with Michael on 
feasibility, though - too much state. Your session would explode with 
cached info about multiple mailboxes...

And before the inevitable "But why not?" question is raised, the 
chance to respond.  The simple fact that there is no way to lock 
accesses to the session across browser tabs is just the tip of the 
iceberg on why tabbed browsing with a session based web medium is bad 
bad bad.

No.  You can't do this.  No tabbed browsing is supported with Horde.

It is possible to open more than one folder by right clicking the list 
in the left hand frame and using 'Open in new Window/Tab'. This occurs 
with URLs such as:



../horde/imp/mailbox.php?no_newmail_popup=1&mailbox=INBOX

../horde/imp/mailbox.php?no_newmail_popup=1&mailbox=INBOX.Trash



However, if one does this then paging, etc. becomes eratic and broken. 
Neither window can work on it's own. This seems to be because the 
'current folder' is stored as a session variable or otherwise on the 
server.



The refresh URL information and page URLs, refere to this page:



.../horde/imp/mailbox.php...



With no mention of the mailbox to be refreshed. Next just has a 
'page=' GET variable for example.



IMHO the mailbox needs to be included in these links because it's nice 
to have more than one folder open for view at any time. Particularly 
using a tabbed browser.



The 'Back to...' folder links on messages are also broken in this way: 
If one views a message in folder A, opens folder B in the meantime, 
then returns to folder A by pressing the 'Back to A' link on the 
message, they are returned to folder B which appears to have a broken 
display.
