Do the problem still exist if you use version 4.2.3 of the Add-on?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

<Weird, but it works sometimes. I've tried all the options and sometimes I still have to scroll to the bottom of a folder (be it the Inbox or another) to get to the latest/last message.

I added the "Extended Use" just recently - maybe it still has bugs. If you want to help me to improve the Add-on, please contact me via k-l-p@gmx.de.

I just read in TB115.4.3 release notes: "Message list scrolling fixes". Do the problems persist in TB115.4.3?>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Above is my recent comment and your reply.

It appears that v115.4.3 has in fact solved the issue. It only became available to me this morning.

I received a comment (to a post I made) on the Mozillaline forum saying that it had been fixed in v120-beta, but it's working now.

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

I really like this program, but there is a bug. I didn't see a place to report the bug.

What happens is that occasionally when switching from one inbox to another, Start with Inbox will get stuck in a loop and keep switching back and forth between two folders. The only way to stop this is to restart Firefox.

I am using Firefox 115.4.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

(You wrote Firefox, but you mean Thunderbird, correct?

Thanks a lot for the new “Navigate to latest message on each folder change” function (in version 4.0.1) ! Works very well and is very practical ! Perfect !

Version 4.1 works fine with me.

Just installed on Thunderbird 115.3.3. I wanted to open T'bird using a local folder with the latest message showing. It's doing that perfectly.

I had been using another add-on to do this previously, but T'bird 115 broke it. Glad I found this replacement.

I had high hopes for this extension after the upgrade to Supernova broke a different extension I was using previously to start with focus on the Inbox. It looks like this extension works in cases when you have multiple accounts with their own inbox visible. But in my case, I have all of my accounts set to use "Inbox for different account: Local Folders", and in that case, the extension doesn't appear to set the focus to the Local Folders inbox properly upon startup.

Update: Developer responded VERY quickly to my review and has indicated they will work on handling Global Inbox in Local Folders in the near future. I am revising my review to 4 stars based on the developer's rapid response time and willingness to consider this functionality in a future version. I look forward to using the new version in the future. Thanks!

Hello vdawg,
Thank you very much for this valuable hint - I have to admit that I overlooked the possibilty to set up a Global Inbox in the Local Folders account.
I think I will now have some work to do and hopefully you can revise your review in some weeks ... :-)

Update 27.09.2023
I have a new version which needs some more testing - if you like to test it, please write to k-l-p@gmx.de

Update 02.10.2023
I sent you an email on 28.09.2023 - if you didn't receive it, please check your spam folder. (Or contact me again and tell me an alternative possibility to contact you.)


Update 16.10.2023
The new version 3.1.2 which now can handle deferred accounts is available since today.

2nd Update: The beta version is now working again so back to 5 stars.

Update: With the release of 115.2.3 this add-on no longer works at all, and often totally disappears from my extension list. I have removed it, but will try it again in the future, and once it works again I will change my review.

Does what it is supposed to do, and therefore, I am glad I installed it! However, it does not always work. Sometimes you have to disable it, and then enable it again to get it to work (a TB restart does not fix it) otherwise it will just open the account inbox with no message highlighted.

Can you please contact me via k-l-p@gmx.de in order to start troubleshooting and hopefully find out the problem?

Works well. When trying out, Thunderbird 115 needs a real restart on Windows. Select File -> Close ("Beenden" in German). Otherwise, Thunderbirds stays alive somehow.

Does what it promises to do, but not on TBird 115. Can we expect an update?

Update was released today (23.07.2023).
Version 3.0.3 will work with Thunderbird 115.

Great idea!

Would be nice to have it work on folders of Local Folders (FF102/macOS it does not).

Also, for those of us who filter on incoming and who start work with mails in folders other than inbox, it would be great to be able to select *any* folder, including virtual folders.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.5.2). 

The new version 3.1.2 now can handle deferred accounts, e.g. if incoming mails are directed to the inbox under Local Folders.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This new version 2.5.2 adds an excellent feature : focus on the first unread message of the inbox of the account you have chosen for the Thunderbird'sstartup.
This addon now offers very complete start possibilities to be able to read your messages without clicking several times or pressing the Tab key many times.
It is also perfect for people who cannot use a mouse and who work exclusively with a keyboard. A big step for accessibility to blind people.
It deserves a rating of 6 out of 5!

Nice extension to have an accessibility friendly behavior in Thunderbird.
i cannot set the focus as I wish but it is thanks to Debian Buster which has not enough recent version of Thunderbird.
Thanks a lot!

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.3.0). 

Dear Patrick,
Which Thunberdird version and which Add-on version do you use?
If you use the Add-on version 2.3.0, in the Options you can choose if the focus should be set on the folder or on the last message.
If you have any problems, please contact me via k-l-p@gmx.de.
Best Regards
