My Reviews

ThreadVis

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

great add-on! works very well with Office365-based IMAP and TB 115.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.5.1). 

TbSync

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

This add-on is the best one around for viewing one's Office365 calendar. However it does not play well with responses to invitations, and does not have event-based synchronisation , so risk of things being briefly out of synch. Finally, IMPORTANTLY, it does not support Thunderbird 102.2.2, which as of recently, is the default version on Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04 and newer. I really hope that it can continue to be developed and refined. Seems that we won't have to want too long, however: https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/pull/607

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (3.0.2). 

Duplicate Contact Manager

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Looks good, but doesn't seem to correctly remove duplicate contacts when contacts are being accessed from a remote addressbook via Fruux (SoGo Connector). As this was the reason for downloding/trying this add-on, unfortunately it didn't work for my use-case.

FWIW manually deleting from this 'remote addressbook' works fine, and the addon deletes locally but somehow when I re-synchronise, the deleted contacts re-appear.

I would be happy to re-test, dear developer, if you make some changes to address this problem.

.vcs Support

Not yet rated

I downloaded a .vcs file using Firefox and saved it on my desktop in Linux (Ubuntu 7.10).

I opened the file using double-click then selected Thunderbird to open the file. This did not succeed.

This plugin would be greatly improved if the necessary file associations with Thunderbird could be added.

In any case, it's great to be able to import these .vcs files now (it's done explicitly using the 'Import calendar' menu, BTW).

Thanks!
