Release 5.4

  • In order to maintain full functionality, this Add-on had to be rewritten as a mail extension with experiment API, which will require full permissions on installation. As regards being allowed to do stuff, it is actually not different with any classic Add-on: they always had full access to all functions within Thunderbird. The modern mail extensions will have much more tightly managed permissions - eventually QuickFolders will also be able use this more modern approach - but the APIs for this have to be created and accepted by Mozilla first. This means a lot of ongoing work for the next 12 months forward - please support this with a license or donation:
  • You can buy a license here. This is the preferred way of funding all the ongoing work and improvements.
  • If you are not ready for a license you can also donate from here

Improvements

  • [issue 117] Add color picker for text color in tab-specific properties.
  • Added quickMove advanced settings panel for the following new features:

    [issue 118] Restrict quickMove results to current server. I also added a list of accounts to explicitely exclude selected servers from search results.

    [issue 74] User Interface to enable silent mode / disable notification after moving mails.
    The maximum number of search results can be changed from 25.

  • [issue 103] quickMove now also supports copying folders. To copy a folder, hold down the CTRL key while you drop it on the quickMove button. Queued folders are now also properly listed in the quickMove menu.

Bug Fixes

  • [issue 115] fix restoring of config values
  • [issue 116] Custom Text color in tab-specific is not set on tab.

    You can use the advanced panel for a number of functions, such as not showing the unread status or excluding a folder (and optionally also its subfolders) from the quickMove search results. You can also prefill a different from address and to address when writing new mails. To display it, right-click any tab and select"Tab-secific Properties" from the QuickFolders commands submenu.

  • Regression in 4.5 (fixed in 5.4.1) [issue 123] Fixed: An error in the French translation leads to the Settings screen not loading.

Thunderbird 78 Regressions, Tb 87 and beyond

  • [issue 115] Restore does not load some general / layout setting. Some general / layout settings were not restored properly even when they were saved during backup.
  • [issue 114] Make QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird beta 86.0b3
    • Fixed: Support Pages did not open anymore as content Tabs have a different parameter set.
    • Fixed: layout of advanced tab properties broken due to deprecated grid element.
    • Fixed: Copy / Move folders uses new MailServices.copy object

    If you find more regressions associated with Thunderbird 86 or higher, please report them at issue 114 linked above.
