why you disabled the 3.0 support and force me to use an older version ?
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.1.2).Because bugs in Thunderbird 3.0 prevent my extension from working properly?

Great idea, unfortunately, becomes unusable in conversations longer than 100 messages. The conversation view abruptly ends at #100, with no option to view more or advance to the next batch of 100. Instead you're stuck fishing through the awful default indented structure.
Especially when multiple participants are involved, it doesn't take long to rack up that many messages. If this add-on addressed long conversations in some way, any way at all, it would be 5 stars for me. As it is, I'm going to have to disable it and keep looking for something else.
The next version will have no limit for the number of messages. Right now, the conversation view really takes a long time to load, which is why the default limit is 100. The nightly builds above (see "latest development version" link) have the limit bumped to 300.

The extension, itself, is nicely written --but it has one problem that makes it completely unusable for me. When you click on a thread, it automatically pops the message pane up on your main window. I keep the message pane hidden, so I can see more emails. Needless to say, it's annoying to have the message pane pop open, then close it, then have it pop open again when you get to the next thread, then close it, etc.
I posted a request to fix this, or to add the ability to set this as an option, and the developer said:
"Patch is welcome. Otherwise, just don't use the extension :-)"
What a nice attitude to have.

Excellent idea! Please keep working on this! It is so needed!
It definitely still needs some development. Some issues I had:
- It did not always recognize conversation threads.
- The ui only shows up in a conversation view. It would be nice if the interface was consistent even if you were just viewing a single email.
- It could perform a bit faster.
- A reply/reply all box at the bottom of the thread would be awesome.
- Messages should be automatically "minimized" except for the first and last message once the conversation goes over three or four messages.
- Minimize and maximize should be a single click on the title of the message.
All in all, I LOVE this extension. Please keep developing, polishing, and improving it. It's about time someone actually did this!

Hi all,
great add-on really!
I would like to know whether it is possible to include forwarded messages into the conversation or how I can find a forwarded message.
Thank you for your interest.

Really nice addon! Thanks.

Great Addon!
A few things that I think would make it greater:
stronger highlighting so you know exactly where you are or what letter you are focused on to support keyboard shortcut people.
In line with this, something better than the current backspace option to return to the mail screen. Everytime I do that it expands my conversation.

Works like a charm.
Does exactly what it's supposed to, and does it good.
Regarding the uninstall, the0.3beta2 version has no problem with that.
One thing though: the display is always LTR (Left To Right directionality), and that causes RTL messages that have mixed content to be displayed weirdly.
Personally, I found the standard threaded view to be enough for me.
Thank you anyway. You have produced an elegantly beautiful addon.

It's actually pretty nice, but I would not recommend installing it until it properly uninstalls. I added it, but only wanted to see my sent messages as part of the normal Thunderbird thread view, I was not interested in the gmail "bubble view", which is pretty but one of the reasons I switched back to TB. Now I can't turn it off, and I'm stuck with it unless I uninstall all of thunderbird and start over. Not attractive.

The two things that youwant to do with email, this app does poorly: Read and Reply.
To read, you have to scroll down past all the previous emails on the thread before you can get to what the person said most recently.
To reply, it puts all previous threads before your comment, so again, you have to scroll to the top to write your email.

It's almost there for me, but not quite.
In gmail, you see the top of the thread, along with the most recent message--everything between is basically completely minimized (when there's a large thread, at least). Being able to see the top of the thread and the very bottom of the thread would make this truly awesome.
Another idea is putting a reply box down at the bottom of the thread, a'la gmail!
Thanks for working on the plugin :)

Looks great. I could get used to this even though I'm no Gmail-user.
One thing though; I cannot click on attachments. Is this only me?
