I use tabs with Horde Mail. It makes everything much quicker as you can
multitask. In mail clients, on the contrary, windows get
fragmented/multiplied. No keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures to move
between windows. I do, however, have mouse gestures set up in Thunderbird.
It only caters for basic navigation and actions though.
