My Reviews

Mailbox Alert

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Version 0.30 is available in "View other versions". Works on TB 102. Still has some issues I wish could be resolved, but at least it works.

This user has a previous review of this add-on.

QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The freeze occurred after update to 5.11, and prior updates. There are no freezes during normal operation (no updates).
Is there better way to report problems?

QuickFolders (Tabbed Folders)

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Nice addon. However, recent updates will freeze Thunderbird when a new tab appears with a change log and donation requests. Must terminate Tbird via task manager.

Mailbox Alert

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Great addon, but running from a filter appears to not work. The message/sound selection disappears.
Only the "Mailbox Alert" selection remains in the filter.

Windows Taskbar Unread Badge

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This addon is better than the built in version in tb91. It appears tb91 only counts unread emails in primary folders (inbox) and does not include sub-folders. Many of my emails are filtered into such sub-folders, making the built in almost useless.

Signature Switch

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Will Signature Switch be updated to TB 91?
I've made some extensive customizations to my signatures (and a lot of fun, I might add). But I refuse to update to TB 91 until this great addon will be compatible.

Attachment Viewer: view in a tab, slideshow

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Finally, a replacement for the long missed Slideshow addon. Works great.
Kudos to the author.
Update: Img-view won't show if only 1 JPG, works great for multiples.

CardBook

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great addon until ver 55.5. All address books disappeared. Restored Thunderbird. Installed ver 55.6 with same nasty results. Again, restored Tbird. Last working version is 55.2.

Update: Restarting Tbird did the trick. Thanks for the quick response.

StandardTexter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

While editing, can't copy or cut anything. Paste works as expected.

Update: C-E responded quickly with a work-around. Tbird is the culprit. Thanks.

StandardTexter

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Works great. HTML code is great. One suggestion:
Attach a name/label instead of a number. HTML can get quite extensive and trying to remember what each does (by number) is a little challenging.
I use a cheat sheet now, and that works fine.

Signature Switch

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Achim, this is a great addon. Having fun using it and learning HTML. A nice feature would be to have a way to preview the results. Currently, I have a compose window open to see the results. But I sure can live with that.
Thanks again for all your hard work...

CardBook

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

No user documentation. TB and Cardbook contacts don't agree. Not very usable in its' current (outdated contacts) state. Wish I could start from scratch and go from there.
And I don't care about any syncronization. Perhaps not use this add-on?
Update (after much investigating):
1. Deleted all address books in Cardbook.
2. Cardbook>hamburger>add new address book. And there it was: Import Thunderbird's standard address books.

Other than my initial mass confusion, Cardbook appears to be very usable.

Textmarker

4.0 is awesome!! Great changes, so much easier to use.
Thank you very much.

Textmarker

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Right-click is out, but perhaps a "down arrow" not unlike the "Save" or "Print" icon?

Textmarker

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great add-on. Couple suggestions when time permits:
1. Reduce size of sample color bars in options (show more per screen)
2. Right-click "Mark!" for options. This would be a quick way to change colors.
3. Better yet...allow maybe 5 favorite colors to be chosen in options, then show these colors in drop-down on right-click of Mark! icon.

This add-on has some real potential and I'm so glad the author created this.

Textmarker

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A question: How to change the color in ver 2.31?
Answered, from the author:
You have to go to 'Tools' - 'Add-ons' - find the entry 'Textmarker' - click on the 3 points on the right side - choose 'Options'.

Signature Switch

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great add-on. Won't move on to TB 68 until this add-on works. Is there any plans to make it work in TB68?

Speed Start

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

In some future update would it be possible to only have the right-click show the menu when speed start is "unlocked". I use the "private tab" add-on and the right-click is superseded by speed start. So, for now, I must open a web page, then right click the tab to get the private tab option to show.

Otherwise this add-on is working perfectly...good job!

Speed Start

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A really slick add-on. Nice features. And very easy to use, once you learn the ropes. Only one issue: I use theme and font size changer and have increased the font size. The properties menu in Speedstart doesn't adjust for this. So the info is off the screen.

Wasn't there an option button? None appear now.
