Some people find it more convent to have message windows created automatically when new messages arrive. You can configure this behavior under Message sessions → Tabs and layout with the following settings, all of them in the section How to create tabs and windows for incoming messages:

1. ALWAYS activate new message sessions – when this option is active, TabSRMM will automatically open and activate the message window for any incoming message. This option will "steal" the focus of the current active desktop window and should therefore be considered the most aggressive option. Also, this option has priority over the others, so it will always override any other window creation mode. Disable it, if you want to have message windows opened in the background or in minimized state.
2. Automatically create new message sessions without activating them – when active, new tabs will be created (but not focused) automatically, but only when the parent container to which the tab should be added is already open. This option will only allow automatic creation of new tabs in already existing containers.
3. New windows are minimized – when active, new message windows are created minimized on the task bar (discreet mode, the message window will never steal the focus). Option 2 must also be enabled to make this work. Basically, if you disable option 3 while option 2 is enabled, no new windows will be created automatically, but new tabs will be automatically added to existing windows.
4. Activate a minimized window when a new tab is created inside it – if enabled, a minimized message window will be restored to the desktop when a new tab is added to it. Also, when a new container is created on demand, it will put itself to foreground. This option should be considered aggressive, because it will steal the input focus.
5. Automatically switch existing tabs in minimized windows on incoming messages – this option is ignored when using Aero Peek task bar features.
