If you want Thunderbird to open directly in your Inbox when you launch the application, go to Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings and check the box that says "Check for new messages at startup."

If you have more than one account, Thunderbird will start up in the Inbox of your default account, which is the account displayed at the top of the folders pane. To make another account into your default account, go to Tools > Account Settings, select the account you want to make the default, and click the "Set as Default" button.

If you want to override the normal startup folder, so that Thunderbird will open in any folder of your choice when it starts up, try using the Folderpane Tools extension. Make sure to read the usage instructions carefully. If you don't know what an extension is or how to install one for Thunderbird, visit the extensions page at Thunderbird Help.
