Release 5.7

  • 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 114] Make QuickFolders compatible with Thunderbird 91. (ESR 2021/22) This is the list of issues found and fixed so far:
    1. Fixed the missing (and badly styled) [Buy License] button at the bottom of the options dialog. This is done by loading a separate style sheet link element into the shadow DOM.
    2. Fixed: showing the debug settings (and other advanced settings) via a small window that filters "about:config" stopped working in Tb91.
    3. Fixed: missing icons on sliding notification bars
    4. Removed deprecated fixIterator constructs
    5. [issue 189] Fixed: No longer able to move a message by dropping it on a quick folder tab. The function copyMessages was renamed in Tb91
    6. [issue 190] Fixed dragging the envelope from current folder toolbar (Navigation bar)
  • [issue 187] Implement a QuickFolders Standard License. There will be now 2 licenses Pro and Standard, and the unfunded version will have a few restrictions. Most importantly, no more than 10 tabs are supported without any license. This is necessary in order to fund ongoing and future work so that the Add-on won't be lost to all users when Thunderbird moves away from experimental APIs. Standard Features will be listed here.
  • [issue 184] Update Notice - [What's New] button is badly visible when using different QF theme than flat style.
  • Ongoing work of Rewriting code to use APIs instead of Thunderbird's internal functions see [issue 147] for up to date detail.

Bug Fixes + Miscellaneus

  • [issue 166] 3rd party themes - Current folder toolbar colors are incorrect until Refresh visible tabs command
  • [issue 186] Theming make some items in options screens hard / impossible to see - improved visibility of dropdowns in options screen when using dark (and third party) themes
  • [issue 185] On installation / sometimes restart or update of _other_ add-ons category is reset to "all"
