Is this some new "feature" for thunderbird 8? When I start thunderbird it starts by opening thunderbird. Once it is loading thunderbird it loads another 6 thunderbirds.

The windows are called

Mozilla Thunderbird 
Inbox - myEmail@gmail.com - Mozilla Thuderbird
Inbox - AotherEmail@gmail.com - Mozilla Thuderbird
Inbox - AotherEmail2@gmail.com - Mozilla Thuderbird
Inbox - AotherEmail2@gmail.com - Mozilla Thuderbird  (yes it repeats the same one a few times)
Inbox - AotherEmail2@gmail.com - Mozilla Thuderbird

I have 7 email accounts but for whatever reason it only made 3 windows. What happened to the one window? When I minimize to tray I got 4 of thunderbird icons.

When closing one of them all of the close.

My other windows 7(32 bit not 64 bit) only have one instance.

It may be a new feature, integrating into the Windows 7 Taskbar better. It looks like each window will show you a mailbox.

Looking at the release notes for 6.0 it shows that they included support for Windows 7 Jumplists.

Hmm. I wonder why then it does not do all my email account if that is the account. It is missing 3 of them. Any way to merge back all into one? – chobo2 Sep 23 '11 at 15:47
I also want to add that my other computers(that have the latest version of thunderbird and have windows 7) do not do this. – chobo2 Oct 19 '11 at 15:49
