How to re-open a message window when it is behind the main window of Thunderbird?

For writing a new message Thunderbird opens new window. Activating main window of Thunderbird hides this new window with new message behind Thunderbird.
On my Mac how do I re-activate this new message window?
I know of using Mission Control, but would like an easy way. Does a quick way exist? cmd-tab does not do the job. Maybe some other hotkey?
Thanks

Maybe alt+tab; this works in Windows and Linux. Both these OSes offer tools via the task bar to bring selected windows to the foreground. I really think this is a question about how to drive a Mac. ;-)
You could also minimize or move the offending window to reveal the other one trapped behind it.

    Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

  • How can I open a second window in iTunes?

    When I see some albums in the the iTunes Store I want to check whether I have some of the songs already. The Search function in the Store only refers to the store and not to my Library. So how can I open a second window in iTunes (one with the Store and one with my Library) to make it easier to compare?
    Thanks

    My understanding it that was removed from iTunes recently (I still run iTunes 7.5 from 2007), so no, not unless you downgrade iTunes (which is not easy).  You can send feedback to Apple about reinstating it but I have yet to see Apple reinstate something that appeared to have been deliberately removed from its software, despite vociferous complaints on this forum.

  • How can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    how can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    Put it in recovery mode to restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screenand iOS: Recovery mode
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

    In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

    That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.

  • How do you open itunes in windows 8

    how do you open itunes in windows 8

    There is no backup option in iTunes, that was removed years ago.
    Backup iTunes and the media on your computer the same way you would any other data on your computer.
    External hard drives are a good option, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the external drive.
