This drives me nuts in Thunderbird when the keyboard focus sometimes gets 
stuck in the folder view and I think I'm navigating the messages in the 
summary view. Good thing it asks whether I really want to delete my Inbox 
when I press the delete key. :-) So for me it's a good thing that the 
sidebar doesn't get the focus on clicking. If it has to be navigable by 
keyboard as well as mouse, how about having a keyboard shortcut that would 
rotate the focus between different panes?
