Check Tools | Options | Preview mode settings "Ctrl+W activates the preview and selects the new mail folder"
If this control is checked, pressing Ctrl+W or clicking the "Open new mail folder" toolbar button will open the folder manager window (or bring it to the front if it is already open) and select the new mail folder for previewing. If this control is not checked, then Ctrl+W will cause the new mail folder to open in its own window, as if you had selected it in the preview and clicked Open.
