Was very excited to see/read/hear of this develpment but found on the Hermes web site under Solutions/Superior Organisation that there will be a "tabbed user interface." I've already tried the tabbed interface with the Firefox/Eudora attempt and hated it. Does anyone know if the Multi-Document Interface (MDI) will be supported at any time or if is even still possible? Without it I will unfortunately not use Hermes Mail.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I suspect you're talking about the website here. But in Visual C++ taborder
can be set manually. Nothing annous me more than wrong tab order. I rely on
it in any app. Be it web or not. Also, holding shift down while tabbing
will move the other way.
If this doesn't work it's just dowright unproffessional.

Sorry if there was any confusion. I am not talking about how to navigate around in a browser with multiple tabs. I was specifically saying that I got the tabbed interface description of Hermes Mail from the web at: https://team-hermes.bitbucket.io/mail.html. If Hermes Mail will have an interface like a common tabbed browser interface I simply will not use Hermes Mail. Tried that interface for email before and hate it. The interface for Eudora is called a Multi-Document Interface (MDI) as a window may have child windows open within it. Think having Inbox, Outbox, an old received email and a Reply email all open at the same time (4 windows inside 1 parent). See the attached image where the four child windows, inside Eudora's parent window, are highlighted with red circles.
Well, I can't find the the picture you posted, but the way I imagine and am
trying to implement it is that these windows are dockable and can be turned
off and on (or docked wher you want them) to avoid clutter.
In fact, Once you fill in the address info and attachments what you end up
with (after dismissing those windows) is actualy just basically an full
screen editor for writing an email. Preferrably able to accept pictures and
HTML.

Sorry again. The first image I posted "Eudora.png" had some personal info in it so quickly deleted and attached a cleaner version as "Eudora2.png". If you clicked on the image link in the email it probably couldn't find the orginal. If you don't mind browsing to the discussion within SourceForge the good link/image is within the web/discussion page.

At least, that's my vision.

The MDI will be supported. We're using C++ and MFC, instead of XUL and Gecko. Thunderbird has a single-window interface, and I don't like it either.
